include/linux/gfp.h: work around apparent sparse confusion
Running sparse on page_alloc.c today, it errors out:
include/linux/gfp.h:254:17: error: bad constant expression
include/linux/gfp.h:254:17: error: cannot size expression
which is a line in gfp_zone():
BUILD_BUG_ON((GFP_ZONE_BAD >> bit) & 1);
That's really unfortunate, because it ends up hiding all of the other
legitimate sparse messages like this:
mm/page_alloc.c:5315:59: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)
mm/page_alloc.c:5315:59: expected unsigned long [unsigned] [usertype] size
mm/page_alloc.c:5315:59: got restricted gfp_t [usertype] <noident>
...
Having sparse be able to catch these very oopsable bugs is a lot more
important than keeping a BUILD_BUG_ON(). Kill the BUILD_BUG_ON().
Compiles on x86_64 with and without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y. defconfig boots
fine for me.
