First: Why is this deemed dead code in its present position, but okay when
moved? Second: While moving is indeed no functional change (really
BUILD_BUG_ON() can be moved about anywhere, for not producing any code in
the final binary), it removes the connection between it and the respective
asm() (where %z would have been nice to use).
