I think avoiding the inline function is especially worthwile here,
since FD_ZERO is is always defined in <sys/types.h> in the default
(__BSD_VISIBLE) case and that won't change soon.

The above version has a bug: the semicolon at the end defeats the point
of the `do ... while (0)'.

I would format it a little differently (tab instead of space after
#define; space instead of tab before `do', and maybe not initialize
variables in declarations, and maybe leave a blank line after the
declarations -- I like to use normal formatting for macros unless
breaking the normal formatting can be used to get 1-line macros.
