BUILD_BUG_ON(): fix it and a couple of bogus uses of it

Browse source 
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.
