The asm-offsets.h file should always be generated in the same directory.
And that is include/asm-$ARCH today.

But if we move include/asm-$ARCH to arch/$ARCH/include then that directory
no longer exists.
And I wanted to avoid adding generated files to arch/$ARCH/include
so the obvious choice was to generate the asm-offsets.h file in
include/asm which works in make O=... and 'normal' builds.

And because I were facing problams when asm was a symlink I
went for the solution with asm being a directory.
But then arm creates asm-arm as a directory too.

So I can try to see of I can make asm a symlink again
to asm-$ARCH. Adding a include3 directory is not my preferred
solution.
