Merge tag 'vla-v4.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull VLA removal from Kees Cook:
 "Globally warn on VLA use.

  This turns on "-Wvla" globally now that the last few trees with their
  VLA removals have landed (crypto, block, net, and powerpc).

  Arnd mentioned that there may be a couple more VLAs hiding in
  hard-to-find randconfigs, but nothing big has shaken out in the last
  month or so in linux-next.

  We should be basically VLA-free now! Wheee. :)

  Summary:

   - Remove unused fallback for BUILD_BUG_ON (which technically contains
     a VLA)

   - Lift -Wvla to the top-level Makefile"

* tag 'vla-v4.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
  Makefile: Globally enable VLA warning
  compiler.h: give up __compiletime_assert_fallback()
