[PATCH 00/19] lib: Some #include cleanups

[Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>]

I'm contemplating doing some tree-wide spring cleaning, mostly
consisting of removing redundant includes, but also refactoring some
large and heterogeneous headers into smaller pieces.

This patch series consists of low-hanging fruit I picked from
lib/. I've verified that "objdump -d lib/builtin.o" produces identical
output for {allyes,allno,def}config, but this is of course only for
x86_64. There's a small but measurable build time improvement: A
defconfig build of lib/ from a clean tree is consistently .5 seconds
(2 %) faster with these patches. There are lots of other apparently
unused headers in lib/*.c, but I've only removed those where it
actually ends up disappearing from the .cmd dependency file (since
that's where the potential build gain lies, and helps prove that the
header is indeed redundant).

I expect there is much larger speedups to gain from removing includes
from .h files, but that is of course at the same time a huge can of
worms, involving boatloads of tree-wide patches updating users to
include what they use directly. So before I start doing that, I'd like
to hear if people think it would be futile.
