[PATCH v2] linux/bits: simplify GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK()

[Vincent Mailhol]

Because of the shortcut logic of the && operator, below expression:

  __builtin_choose_expr(condition, boolean_expression, false)

can be simplified as:

  condition && boolean_expression

Applied to GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK(),

  __builtin_choose_expr(__is_constexpr((l) > (h)), (l) > (h), 0)

can be replaced by:

  __is_constexpr((l) > (h)) && (l) > (h)

Finally, above expression is nearly the same as the expansion of
statically_true((l) > (h)), except from the use of __is_constexpr()
instead of __builtin_constant_p().

Introduce _statically_true() which is similar to statically_true()
but with __is_constexpr(). Apply _statically_true() to simplify
GENMASK_INPUT_CHECK().

This change passes the unit tests from CONFIG_BITS_TEST, including the
extra negative tests provided under #ifdef TEST_GENMASK_FAILURES [1].

[1] commit 6d511020e13d ("lib/test_bits.c: add tests of GENMASK")
Link: https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/6d511020e13d


** Changelog **

v1 -> v2:

   - introduce _statically_true(), taking inspiration from
     statically_true() as introduced in commit 22f546873149 ("minmax:
     improve macro expansion and type checking")
