It's actually weirder than that:

#define HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT ({ BUILD_BUG(); 0; })
#define HPAGE_PMD_ORDER (HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT-PAGE_SHIFT)
#define HPAGE_PMD_NR (1<<HPAGE_PMD_ORDER)

so it should be (1<<(0-12))

Thanks!  I'd be happy to rearrange this code to avoid the smatch report,
but it's not quite clear to me how I could/should do that.
