[PATCH 0/7 6.12.y] Backport minmax.h updates from v6.17-rc7

[Eliav Farber <farbere@amazon.com>]

This series backports 7 patches to update minmax.h in the 6.12.y branch,
aligning it with v6.17-rc7.

The ultimate goal is to synchronize all longterm branches so that they
include the full set of minmax.h changes.

The key motivation is to bring in commit d03eba99f5bf ("minmax: allow
min()/max()/clamp() if the arguments have the same signedness"), which
is missing in older kernels.

In mainline, this change enables min()/max()/clamp() to accept mixed
argument types, provided both have the same signedness. Without it,
backported patches that use these forms may trigger compiler warnings,
which escalate to build failures when -Werror is enabled.

David Laight (7):
  minmax.h: add whitespace around operators and after commas
  minmax.h: update some comments
  minmax.h: reduce the #define expansion of min(), max() and clamp()
  minmax.h: use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() for the lo < hi test in clamp()
  minmax.h: move all the clamp() definitions after the min/max() ones
  minmax.h: simplify the variants of clamp()
  minmax.h: remove some #defines that are only expanded once
