ext4: ensure Inode flags consistency are checked at build time
Flags being used by atomic operations in inode flags (e.g.
ext4_test_inode_flag(), should be consistent with that actually stored
in inodes, i.e.: EXT4_XXX_FL.
It ensures that this consistency is checked at build-time, not at
run-time.
Currently, the flags consistency are being checked at run-time, but,
there is no real reason to not do a build-time check instead of a
run-time check. The code is comparing macro defined values with enum
type variables, where both are constants, so, there is no problem in
comparing constants at build-time.
enum variables are treated as constants by the C compiler, according
to the C99 specs (see www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf
sec. 6.2.5, item 16), so, there is no real problem in comparing an
enumeration type at build time
