Because asm headers are usually included at the beginning of another,
possibly generic header. Unless you have a specially particular
reason to put them in additional guarding ifdeffery. Have a look at
include/linux/.

That doesn't sound like a special reason to me. And compilers are
usually very able at discarding unused symbols so I don't see a problem
with keeping all includes at the top, like it is usually done.
