Define `static_assert()` when not defined by kernel
This macro is useful for build-time assertions. It was added in kernel
v5.1. It uses the C11 _Static_assert macro that was implemented with gcc
4.6. There is support for the _Static_assert in all C modes, including
gnu89.
Since our minimal gcc version is 4.8, we can simply define it manually
if the kernel is older than v5.1.
