proc: avoid extra pde_put() in proc_fill_super()
If proc_get_inode() succeeded, but d_make_root() failed, pde_put() for
proc_root will be called twice: the first time due to iput() called from
d_make_root() and the second time directly in the end of
proc_fill_super().

Introduce compiletime_assert to compiler.h, which moves the details of how
to break a build and emit an error message for a specific compiler to the
headers where these details should be. Following in the tradition of the
POSIX assert macro, compiletime_assert creates a build-time error when the
supplied condition is *false*.
Next, we add BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG to bug.h which simply wraps
compiletime_assert, inverting the logic, so that it fails when the
condition is *true*, consistent with the language "build bug on." This
macro allows you to specify the error message you want emitted when the
supplied condition is true.
Finally, we remove all other code from bug.h that mucks with these details
(BUILD_BUG & BUILD_BUG_ON), and have them all call BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG. This
not only reduces source code bloat, but also prevents the possibility of
code being changed for one macro and not for the other (which was
previously the case for BUILD_BUG and BUILD_BUG_ON).
Since __compiletime_error_fallback is now only used in compiler.h, I'm
considering it a private macro and removing the double negation that's now
extraneous.

compiler.h, bug.h: Prevent double error messages with BUILD_BUG{,_ON}
Prior to the introduction of __attribute__((error("msg"))) in gcc 4.3,
creating compile-time errors required a little trickery. BUILD_BUG{,_ON}
uses this attribute when available to generate compile-time errors, but
also uses the negative-sized array trick for older compilers, resulting in
two error messages in some cases. The reason it's "some" cases is that as
of gcc 4.4, the negative-sized array will not create an error in some
situations, like inline functions.
This patch replaces the negative-sized array code with the new
__compiletime_error_fallback() macro which expands to the same thing
unless the the error attribute is available, in which case it expands to
do{}while(0), resulting in exactly one compile-time error on all versions
of gcc.
Note that we are not changing the negative-sized array code for the
unoptimized version of BUILD_BUG_ON, since it has the potential to catch
problems that would be disabled in later versions of gcc were
__compiletime_error_fallback used. The reason is that that an unoptimized
build can't always remove calls to an error-attributed function call (like
we are using) that should effectively become dead code if it were
optimized. However, using a negative-sized array with a similar value
will not result in an false-positive (error). The only caveat being that
it will also fail to catch valid conditions, which we should be expecting
in an unoptimized build anyway.

bug.h: Make BUILD_BUG_ON generate compile-time error
Negative sized arrays wont create a compile-time error in some cases
starting with gcc 4.4 (e.g., inlined functions), but gcc 4.3 introduced
the error function attribute that will. This patch modifies BUILD_BUG_ON
to behave like BUILD_BUG already does, using the error function attribute
so that you don't have to build the entire kernel to discover that you
have a problem, and then enjoy trying to track it down from a link-time
error.
Also, we are only including asm/bug.h and then expecting that
linux/compiler.h will eventually be included to define __linktime_error
(used in BUILD_BUG_ON). This patch includes it directly for clarity and
to avoid the possibility of changes in <arch>/*/include/asm/bug.h being
changed or not including linux/compiler.h for some reason.

__linktime_error() does the same thing as __compiletime_error() and is
only used in bug.h. Since the macro defines a function attribute that
will cause a failure at compile-time (not link-time), it makes more sense
to keep __compiletime_error(), which is also neatly mated with
__compiletime_warning().

compiler-gcc{3,4}.h: Use GCC_VERSION macro
Using GCC_VERSION reduces complexity, is easier to read and is GCC's

they didn't define it in the first place.) This also makes it easy to

Throughout compiler*.h, many version checks are made. These can be
simplified by using the macro that gcc's documentation recommends.
However, my primary reason for adding this is that I need bug-check macros
that are enabled at certain gcc versions and it's cleaner to use this
macro than the tradition method:
