The current definition of `ASSERT(cond)` as `(void)(cond)` is redundant,
because all checks are without side effects and don't affect code logic.

However, some checks has READ_ONCE in them or other 'compiler-unfriendly'
behaviour. For example, ASSERT(list_empty) in btrfs_add_dealloc_inode
was compiled to redundant mov because of this.

This patch replaces ASSERT with BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID for
!CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT builds.

.o size reductions are not that big, for example on defconfig + btrfs
fs/btrfs/*.o size went from 3280528 to 3277936, so compiler was pretty
efficient on his own
