bug: introduce ASSERT_STRUCT_OFFSET

ASSERT_STRUCT_OFFSET allows to assert during the build of
the kernel that a field in a struct have an expected offset.

KVM used to have such macro, but there is almost nothing KVM specific
in it so move it to build_bug.h, so that it can be used in other
places in KVM.
