Subject: [PATCH] kmemcheck: clean up kmemcheck_annotate_bitfield

The commit 181f7c5dd3832763bdf2756b6d2d8a49bdf12791 change traded a
style warning from sparse for a syntax warning from the real compiler
(and perhaps an error with compilers old enough).  The use of a local
variable inside BUILD_BUG_ON() is pretty questionable too, though it
works with the compiler's constant-folding in practice.

This change cleans it all up a little more sanely.
The details are self-explanatory.
