[PATCH] sysv: use BUILD_BUG_ON instead of runtime check

From: Pavel Skripkin
Date: Fri Aug 13 2021 - 08:30:31 EST


There was runtime checks about sizes of struct v7_super_block
and struct sysv_inode. If one of these checks fail kernel will panic.
Since these values are known on complite time let's use BUILD_BUG_ON(),
because it's standard mechanism for validation checking at build time
