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.
