GCC seems to incorrectly fail to evaluate skb_ext_total_length() at compile time under certain conditions.
The issue even occurs if all values in skb_ext_type_len[] are "0", ruling out the possibility of an actual overflow.
As the patch has been in mainline since v6.6 without triggering the problem it seems to be a very uncommon occurrence.
As the issue only occurs when -fno-tree-loop-im is specified as part of CFLAGS_GCOV, disable the BUILD_BUG_ON() only when building with coverage reporting enabled.
