Subject: [PATCH 24/27 5.10.y] minmax.h: use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() for the lo < hi test in clamp()

From: David Laight <David.Laight@...LAB.COM>

[ Upstream commit a5743f32baec4728711bbc01d6ac2b33d4c67040 ]

Use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(statically_true(ulo > uhi), ...) for the sanity check
of the bounds in clamp().  Gives better error coverage and one less
expansion of the arguments.
