I decided to use my powers for good. Or at least goodish.

I went through a lot of 'min_t()' and 'max_t()' users, and I think I
found them all. There's a possibility that some driver that I can't
easily build-test has issues, but I tried to manually check all the
architecture ones, and did an allmodconfig build on arm64 and x86-64.

And by visual inspection I found a 32-bit x86 PAE case. Which makes me
think my visual inspection was not entirely broken.

Anyway, I don't love the timing, since I'm going to cut 6.11-rc1 asap,
but I also don't want to unnecessarily leave this pending for later,
so I just committed the simplifications for min_t/max_t.

Doing the same for min/max (no more C constant expression worries!)
would be very good, but I think that's going to be for later.
