At any rate, a 3 mn git bisect tells me the circular dependency is
exposed by this change:

fscrypt: remove filesystem specific build config option
In order to have a common code base for fscrypt "post read" processing
for all filesystems which support encryption, this commit removes
filesystem specific build config option (e.g.
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_ENCRYPTION)
and replaces it with a build option (i.e. CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION) whose
value affects all the filesystems making use of fscrypt.

FWIW, The patch at https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10725883/ fixes this
problem by removing "select BLOCK if FS_ENCRYPTION" from fs/ubifs/Kconfig.
OK
Pierre-Louis, can you check if this patch makes the issue go away for
you, please?
Wondering if Chandan provided the right pointer, I wasn't able to apply
this patch, but commenting out "select BLOCK if FS_ENCRYPTION" in
fs/ubifs/Kconfig makes the circular dependency go away. All good for me.
