Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] drm/i915/utils: do not depend on config being defined

Like the IS_ENABLED() counterpart, we can make IS_CONFIG_NONZERO() to
return the right thing when the config is not defined rather than a
build error, with the limitation that it can't be used on preprocessor
context.

The trick here is that macro names can't start with a number or dash, so
we stringify the argument and check that the first char is a number != 0
(or starting with a dash to cover negative numbers). Except for -O0
builds the strings are all eliminated.

Taking CONFIG_DRM_I915_REQUEST_TIMEOUT in
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_context.c as example, we have the
following output of the preprocessor:

old:
 if (((20000) != 0) &&
new:
 if (( ("20000"[0] > '0' && "20000"[0] < '9') || "20000"[0] == '-' ) &&

New one looks worse, but is also eliminated from the object:

$ size drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_context.o.*
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  52021    1070     232   53323    d04b drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_context.o.new
  52021    1070     232   53323    d04b drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_context.o.old
