Subject: [PATCH 3/5 ver2] virtio: Fix non-const BUILD_BUG_ON usage


In virtio_has_feature() 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).

However It is no longer legal to pass BUILD_BUG_ON a non-const
expression so users like virtio_config_buf() should caller
__virtio_has_feature() which does the actual code minus the
check.
