When CONFIG_NET is disabled, an extra warning shows up for this
unused variable:

lib/checksum_kunit.c:218:18: error: 'expected_csum_ipv6_magic' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-const-variable=]

Replace the #ifdef with an IS_ENABLED() check that makes the compiler's
dead-code-elimination take care of the link failure.

<title>stackdepot: rename pool_index to pool_index_plus_1</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 3ee34eabac2a ("lib/stackdepot: fix first entry having a 0-handle")
changed the meaning of the pool_index field to mean "the pool index plus
1".  This made the code accessing this field less self-documenting, as
well as causing debuggers such as drgn to not be able to easily remain
compatible with both old and new kernels, because they typically do that
by testing for presence of the new field.  Because stackdepot is a
debugging tool, we should make sure that it is debugger friendly. 
Therefore, give the field a different name to improve readability as well
as enabling debugger backwards compatibility.

This is needed in 6.9, which would otherwise become an odd release with
the new semantics and old name so debuggers wouldn't recognize the new
semantics there.

This is one of the drivers with an unused variable that is marked 'const'.
Adding a __used annotation here avoids the warning and lets us enable
the option by default:

lib/test_ubsan.c:137:28: error: unused variable 'skip_ubsan_array' [-Werror,-Wunused-const-variable]

The norm should be flexible array structures with __counted_by
annotations, so DEFINE_FLEX() is updated to expect that. Rename
the non-annotated version to DEFINE_RAW_FLEX(), and update the
few existing users. Additionally add selftests for the macros.
