[PATCH v2 1/1] arch/sh: avoid spurious sizeof-pointer-div warning

[Michael Karcher]

Gcc warns about the pattern sizeof(void*)/sizeof(void), as it looks like
the abuse of a pattern to calculate the array size. This pattern appears
in the unevaluated part of the ternary operator in _INTC_ARRAY if the
parameter is NULL.

The replacement uses an alternate approach to return 0 in case of NULL
which does not generate the pattern sizeof(void*)/sizeof(void), but still
emits the warning if _INTC_ARRAY is called with a nonarray parameter.

This patch is required for successful compilation with -Werror enabled.

The idea to use _Generic for type distinction is taken from Comment #7
in https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108483 by Jakub Jelinek
