Introduce an ASSERT_VAR_CAN_HOLD() macro to check at build time that a
variable can hold the given value.
Use this macro in swiotlb to make sure that the list and pad_slots fields
of struct io_tlb_slot are big enough to hold the maximum possible value of
IO_TLB_SEGSIZE.

nit, but I think this prevents putting negative values into unsigned
types. Not sure whether we care? Arguably it's even correct to complain.
e.g.
u16 s;
ASSERT_VAR_CAN_HOLD(s, -1);
explodes for me.

Then it works as intended. I specifically aimed at making a macro that
checks at build time whether a given constant is within the value range
of a variable, so it explodes for a signed overflow (in either
direction).
To check the size of a variable, I could have gone with something
simpler like BUG_ON(sizeof(var) < sizeof(val)).
