-Wtautological-constant-compare in arch/s390/include/asm/page.h

Hi all,

We noticed that you all added support for building s390 with clang,
which is great! I have noticed a few warnings for which I will send
patches but this one has me stumped.

1 warning generated.

PAGE_DEFAULT_PAGE is always 0, meaning this function never does what it
is supposed to. Is this intentional? It seems that commit 0b642ede4796
("[PATCH] s390: default storage key") added this and it mentions that it
can be overwritten at build time but I do not see any infrastructure for
doing that. Any clarification that you can give so we can solve this
warning would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Nathan
