This is just a basic check that the headers which _are_ exported don't
try to include other headers which aren't. This can happen either
because the former should not, or the latter _should_ be exported.
Mostly, however, the solution is just to make sure the latter is
included only within #ifdef __KERNEL__, because it's only needed within
that ifdef anyway.
I have extended that script somewhat to check for more problems,
and fixed a number of problems in the process.

The bad news is that with this extended script, there will be even
more work for each architecture maintainer to make it check without
warnings.
