Subject: [PATCH] rust: bug: prevent dead_code warning from warn_on!'s flags
 constant

Fix the following dead_code warning on some configurations in an
atomic development branch:

warning: constant `WARN_ON_FLAGS` is never used

108 | |             // and `srcu_readers_active()` only checks the active reader count.

    |
    = note: `#[warn(dead_code)]` (part of `#[warn(unused)]`) on by default
    = note: this warning originates in the macro `crate::warn_on` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

The warn_on! macro always defines a WARN_ON_FLAGS constant and hands it
to warn_flags!. On configurations where warn_flags! does not reference
its flags argument (the LOONGARCH/ARM variant, which only calls
WARN_ON(), and the !CONFIG_BUG no-op variant), the constant is left
unused and triggers a dead_code warning.

warn_flags! is the macro that accepts (and here discards) the flags
argument, so make it responsible for the argument it drops.

Also rename `_COND_STR` to `COND_STR` and consume `$file` for consistency.
