include/linux/compiler.h: don't perform compiletime_assert with -O0
Commit c7acec713d14 ("kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in
container_of()") made use of __compiletime_assert() from container_of()
thus increasing the usage of this macro, allowing developers to notice
type conflicts in usage of container_of() at compile time.
However, the implementation of __compiletime_assert relies on compiler
optimizations to report an error. This means that if a developer uses
"-O0" with any code that performs container_of(), the compiler will always
report an error regardless of whether there is an actual problem in the
code.
This patch disables compile_time_assert when optimizations are disabled to
allow such code to compile with CFLAGS="-O0".
Example compilation failure:
./include/linux/compiler.h:547:38: error: call to `__compiletime_assert_94' declared with attribute error: pointer type mismatch in container_of()
_compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __LINE__)
