Subject[PATCH] fix BUILD_BUG_ON() and a couple of bogus uses of it
gcc permitting variable length arrays makes the current construct
used for BUILD_BUG_ON() useless, as that doesn't produce any diagnostic
if the controlling expression isn't really constant. Instead, this
patch makes it so that a bit field gets used here. Consequently, those
uses where the condition isn't really constant now also need fixing.

Note that in the gfp.h, kmemcheck.h, and virtio_config.h cases
MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON() really just serves documentation purposes - even
if the expression is compile time constant (__builtin_constant_p()
yields true), the array is still deemed of variable length by gcc, and
hence the whole expression doesn't have the intended effect.
