BACKPORT: build_bug.h: add wrapper for _Static_assert

commit 6bab69c65013bed5fce9f101a64a84d0385b3946 upstream.

BUILD_BUG_ON() is a little annoying, since it cannot be used outside
function scope.  So one cannot put assertions about the sizeof() a
struct next to the struct definition, but has to hide that in some more
or less arbitrary function.

Since gcc 4.6 (which is now also the required minimum), there is support
for the C11 _Static_assert in all C modes, including gnu89.  So add a
simple wrapper for that.

_Static_assert() requires a message argument, which is usually quite
redundant (and I believe that bug got fixed at least in newer C++
standards), but we can easily work around that with a little macro
magic, making it optional.

For example, adding

  static_assert(sizeof(struct printf_spec) == 8);

in vsprintf.c and modifying that struct to violate it, one gets

./include/linux/build_bug.h:78:41: error: static assertion failed: "sizeof(struct printf_spec) == 8"
 #define __static_assert(expr, msg, ...) _Static_assert(expr, "" msg "")

godbolt.org suggests that _Static_assert() has been support by clang
since at least 3.0.0.
