I thought about using "0", but when WARN_ON_SMP() is used outside of an
if statement, it turns into:
0;
Which seems strange to me. Thus the ({0;}) was basically a way to state
that this is also a function and not just a 0 value.
Also, a quick test shows that
0;
gives the warning:
"warning: statement with no effect"
