The issue is the dependency mess that has been created with patch 11
in the set. Again you are conflating patches which makes this really
hard to debug or discuss as I make suggestions on one patch and you
claim it breaks things that are really due to issues in another patch.
So the issue is you included this header into include/linux/sched.h
which is included in linux/mm_types.h. So what happens then is that
you have to include page_frag_cache.h *before* you can include the
bits from mm_types.h

What might make more sense to solve this is to look at just moving the
page_frag_cache into mm_types_task.h and then having it replace the
page_frag struct there since mm_types.h will pull that in anyway. That
way sched.h can avoid having to pull in page_frag_cache.h.
