Subject[PATCH] compiler.h: don't use temporary variable in __compiletime_assert()
Date
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Usually, BUG_ON and friends aren't even evaluated in sparse, but
recently compiletime_assert_atomic_type() was added, and that now
results in a sparse warning every time it is used.

The reason turns out to be the temporary variable, after it sparse
no longer considers the value to be a constant, and results in a
warning and an error. The error is the more annoying part of this
as it suppresses any further warnings in the same file, hiding
other problems.

Since this is all about compile time and the condition should be
side-effect free to start with, there's no downside (apart maybe
from a slight compilation time penalty?) to just duplicating it,
leaving sparse able to evaluate it at check time, getting rid of
the warning and error.
