[PATCH] net: avoid build bug in skb extension length calculation

[Thomas Weißschuh]

GCC seems to incorrectly fail to evaluate skb_ext_total_length() at
compile time under certain conditions.

The issue even occurs if all values in skb_ext_type_len[] are "0",
ruling out the possibility of an actual overflow.

As the patch has been in mainline since v6.6 without triggering the
problem it seems to be a very uncommon occurrence.

As the issue only occurs when -fno-tree-loop-im is specified as part of
CFLAGS_GCOV, disable the BUILD_BUG_ON() only when building with coverage
reporting enabled.
