In kfifo_in marco, one piece of code which is arounded by if(0) will check the
type of __tmp->ptr_const and __buf. If they are different type, there will
output a warning during compiling. This piece of code is not self explaining
and a little bit hard to understand.
Based on Andrew Morton's suggestion, this patch replace this with typecheck()
which will be easy to understand.
In the same file, there are several places with the same code style. This
patch change them too.
