Subject: [PATCH 4.9 38/51] xfs: make the ASSERT() condition likely

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@...il.com>

commit bf46ecc3d8cca05f2907cf482755c42c2b11a79d upstream.

The ASSERT() condition is the normal case, not the exception,
so testing the condition should be likely(), not unlikely().
