When building the kernel with Clang with defconfig and CONFIG_64BIT
disabled, vmlinux fails to link because of the BUILD_BUG in
_print_param.

ld: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_params.o: in function `i915_params_dump':
i915_params.c:(.text+0x56): undefined reference to
`__compiletime_assert_191'

This function is semantically invalid unless the code is first inlined
then constant folded, which doesn't work for Clang because semantic
analysis happens before optimization/inlining.

[The above written by Nathan Chancellor <natechancel...@gmail.com>]

Use WARN_ONCE() instead of BUILD_BUG() to avoid the problem. The
WARN_ONCE() should get optimized away unless there's a type that's not
handled by _print_param().
