This refines commit c03567a8e8d5 ("include/linux/compiler.h: don't perform
compiletime_assert with -O0") and restores #ifdef __OPTIMIZE__ symmetry by
evaluating the 'condition' variable in both compile-time variants of
__compiletimeassert().

As __OPTIMIZE__ is always true by default, this commit does not change
anything by default.  But it fixes warnings with _non-default_ CFLAGS like
for instance this:

 make  CFLAGS_tcp.o='-Og -U__OPTIMIZE__'

                 from net/ipv4/tcp.c:273:

 include/net/sch_generic.h: In function `qdisc_cb_private_validate':
 include/net/sch_generic.h:511:30:
            error: unused variable `qcb' [-Werror=unused-variable]

  {
     struct qdisc_skb_cb *qcb;

     BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(skb->cb) < sizeof(*qcb));
     ...
  }

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: regularize comment layout, reflow comment]
