Subject: [PATCH 3/5] virtio: Fix none-const BUILD_BUG_ON usage


BUILD_BUG_ON can not be used cross inline parametrization boundary.
I've put the BUILD_BUG_ON(_ZERO) in a macro outside of the inline
definition. (So it is in the caller scope).

NOTE to Rusty:
  If I remove the "__builtin_constant_p ?" part then code compiles
  just fine, because all call sights of virtio_has_feature() use
  constants for fbit. But it seems like it was not intended to be
  forced.
