When 5-level page tables are enabled, clang triggers a BUILD_BUG_ON():

x86_64-linux-ld: arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.o: in function `efi_sync_low_kernel_mappings':
efi_64.c:(.text+0x22c): undefined reference to `__compiletime_assert_354'

Use the same method as in commit c65e774fb3f6 ("x86/mm: Make PGDIR_SHIFT
and PTRS_PER_P4D variable") and change it to MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON(),
so it only triggers for constant input.
