Applying below diff seems to solve the build failure.
Do we need to use BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO() here?

Also, why the fast path of find_*_bit() functions does not check
__builtin_constant_p(offset) as well as small_const_nbits(size), for the fast
path fails to catch BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO() when offset argument is not a constant.
