Subject: [PATCH net 5/5] net: ipa: warn if gsi_trans structure is too big

When the DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC config options are
enabled, sizeof(raw_spinlock_t) grows considerably (from 4 bytes
to 56 bytes currently).  As a consequence the size of the gsi_trans
structure exceeds 128 bytes, and this triggers a BUILD_BUG_ON()
error.

These are useful configuration options to enable, so rather than
causing a build failure, just issue a warning message at run time
if the structure is larger than we'd prefer.
