<generated/at91_pm_data-offsets.h> is only generated and included by arch/arm/mach-at91/, so it does not need to reside in the globally visible include/generated/. I renamed it to arch/arm/mach-at91/pm_data-offsets.h since the prefix 'at91_' is just redundant in mach-at91/. My main motivation of this change is to avoid the race condition for the parallel build (-j) when CONFIG_IKHEADERS is enabled. When it is enabled, all the headers under include/ are archived into kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz and exposed in the sysfs. In the parallel build, we have no idea in which order files are built. - If at91_pm_data-offsets.h is built before kheaders_data.tar.xz, the header will be included in the archive. Probably nobody will use it, but it is harmless except that it will increase the archive size needlessly. - If kheaders_data.tar.xz is built before at91_pm_data-offsets.h, the header will not be included in the archive. However, in the next build, the archive will be re-generated to include the newly-found at91_pm_data-offsets.h. This is not nice from the build system point of view. - If at91_pm_data-offsets.h and kheaders_data.tar.xz are built at the same time, the corrupted header might be included in the archive, which does not look nice either. This commit fixes the race.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
