Nothing makes me cringe more than "somebody else's job" statements. In
this case, there is obviously a correlation with your ACPI changes since
the circular dependency happens because of the ACPI symbol.

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.
