Subject: lib/vsprintf.c: move sizeof(struct printf_spec) next to its definition
At the time of d0484193 ("lib/vsprintf.c: expand field_width to 24 bits"),
there was no compiletime_assert/BUILD_BUG/.... variant that could be used
outside function scope. Now we have static_assert(), so move the
assertion next to the definition instead of hiding it in some arbitrary
function.
Also add the appropriate #include to avoid relying on build_bug.h being
pulled in via some arbitrary chain of includes.
