Subject[PATCH] kernel.h: Avoid that sparse complains about using sizeof(void)
Date
The macro __is_constexpr() causes sparse to report the following:

warning: expression using sizeof(void)

Avoid this by using __builtin_constant_p() instead.

Fixes: 3c8ba0d61d04 ("kernel.h: Retain constant expression output for max()/min()")
