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

Hi Lars and Philipp,

Could you please make sure that this patch and the other one I sent make
it into 4.21/5.0? I am not sure when you were planning on sending the
pull request to Jens that you mentioned in the other thread but I've
noticed most maintainers typically send their requests for the impending
merge window around -rc7 or so and I wanted to make sure it was on your
radar.
It needs to get here now, but drbd hasn't really sent anything in for
about a year, so I'm starting to doubt how maintained it is at this
point.
