Yes, you are right.
I tried including different headers for virt_to_page(), and it did not
work for arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s, which has included linux/sched.h,
and linux/sched.h need 'struct page_frag_cache' for 'struct task_struct'
after this patchset, including page_frag_cache.h for sched.h causes the
below compiler error:

Another possible way I can think of to aovid the above problem is to
split the page_frag_cache.h to something like page_frag_cache/types.h
and page_frag_cache/helpers.h as page_pool does, so that sched.h only
need to include page_frag_cache/types.h.
But I am not sure it is the correct way or it is worth the effort, what
do you think about this?
