[PATCH v2 2/2] build_bug.h: remove all dummy BUILD_BUG_ON stubs for sparse

[Masahiro Yamada]

The introduction of these dummy BUILD_BUG_ON stubs dates back to
commit 903c0c7cdc21 ("sparse: define dummy BUILD_BUG_ON definition
for sparse"). At that time, BUILD_BUG_ON() was implemented with the
negative array trick, which Sparse complains about even if the
condition can be optimized and evaluated to 0 at compile-time.

With the previous commit, the leftover negative array trick is gone.
Sparse is happy with the current BUILD_BUG_ON(), which is implemented
by using the 'error' attribute.

There might be a little room for argument about BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO().
Sparse reports 'invalid bitfield width, -1' for non-zero value,
and 'bad integer constant expression' for non-constant value.
This is the same criteria as GCC uses. So, if those Sparse errors
occurred, they would cause errors for GCC as well. (Hence, such
errors would have been detected by the normal compile test process.)
