Rethink about this, you are right. Using BUILD_BUG_ON is better.
Anyone who found this compiling break should check if his/her code
changes increase the crash_notes size. If possible that increase need be
avoidable. Otherwise he should report this to upstream why it's
unavoidable to increase crash_notes size, then let's consider the
redesign the crash_notes data structure. 

So I will use BUILD_BUG_ON and repost.

Thanks
