I am not sure why the robot thinks that this change introduced this
warning, I think it has been present since patch 2 of this series.

The warning occurs when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is disabled because
is_first_zpdesc() is used with VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, which ultimately
evaluates to BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() / sizeof(), so is_first_zpdesc() is
only used in a compile time context for this configuration. Perhaps this
can just be marked as __maybe_unused?

Cheers,
Nathan
