Add __sink(expr) macro that forces compiler to believe that passed in expression is both read and written. It used a simple embedded asm for this. This is useful in a lot of tests where we assign value to some variable to trigger some action, but later don't read variable, causing compiler to complain (if corresponding compiler warnings are turned on, which we'll do in the next patch).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
