There are several warnings from Clang about no case statement matching
the constant 0:

./include/linux/drbd_genl.h:321:1: warning: no case matching constant
switch condition '0'
GENL_struct(DRBD_NLA_HELPER, 24, drbd_helper_info,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
./include/linux/genl_magic_struct.h:220:10: note: expanded from macro
'GENL_struct'
        switch (0) {
                ^
Silence this warning by adding a 'case 0:' statement. Additionally,
adjust the alignment of the statements in the ct_assert_unique macro to
avoid a checkpatch warning.
This solution was originally sent by Arnd Bergmann with a default case
statement: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/756723/

Since this is not the same as Arnd's patch, I took authorship for it
while leaving a link to the original patch in the commit message. If
this is not how it should have been done, please let me know.
