The default_gfp() helper that I added is not wrong, but it turns out
that it causes unnecessary headaches for 'sparse' which doesn't support
the use of __VA_OPT__ (introduced in C++20 and C23, and supported by gcc
and clang for a long time).
We do already use __VA_OPT__ in some other cases in the kernel (drm/xe
and btrfs), but it has been fairly limited. Now it triggers for pretty
much everything, and sparse ends up not working at all.
We can use the traditional gcc ',##__VA_ARGS__' syntax instead: it may
not be the "C standard" way and is slightly less natural in this
context, but it is the traditional model for this and avoids the sparse
problem.
