[PATCH v2 0/2] Introduce in_range_incl() inclusive range check macro

Extend the existing in_range() API to provide a user-friendly inclusive
range check and add one illustrative in-tree example of its use.

The in_range() API lends itself easily to callers who care about a
half-open range, but has no straightforward equivalent for callers that
want to check for an inclusive range. Such callers have to resort to
this pattern:

	in_range(val, start, (end - start + 1))

which is quite clunky and easy to mess up. Examples of such callers:

- fs/btrfs/extent-io-tree.c hand-computes the inclusive check by
  passing "state->end - state->start + 1" as in_range()'s len argument.
- drivers/md/dm-raid.c has its own file-local __within_range(v, min, max)
  helper, independently invented, with almost a dozen call sites in
  that one file.
- drivers/iio/imu/bmi270/bmi270_core.c has three "in_range(val, 0,
  MAX + 1)" checks in bmi270_write_event_value(), computing the +1 by
  hand for the same reason.

This series converts only bmi270_core.c as a first step, as an exemplar
for the usage of the new API.

Changes in v2:
- (Andrew) Rename in_range_incl() to in_range_inclusive()
- (Sashiko) Use __UNIQUE_ID() to fix variable-shadowing bug introduced
  by choosing fixed tempval names ("__val", "__start", "__end"). The use
  of __UNIQUE_ID() is in line with other macros listed in minmax.h.
- (Sashiko) When @end is the type's max value, len overflows to 0, so
  in_range_inclusive(val, 0, UINT32_MAX) rejected every input.
- (Sashiko) Abandon idea of reusing in_range() to avoid integer
  promotion of the "+1" always routing sub-32-bit types to in_range64(),
  defeating the stated purpose of building on in_range().
- Solve both issues above with a simple, direct "val >= start && val <=
  end" instead: an in_range()-style (val-start)<=(end-start) trick was
  tried first, but that only works under forced-unsigned arithmetic
  (like in_range32()/in_range64() use); with typeof()'s original,
  possibly-signed type, it breaks silently instead.
- Verification: exhaustive sweep over all valid u8 (start, end, val)
  triples confirms in_range_inclusive() is correct (0 mismatches vs.
  2.8M for the abandoned approach). -O2 codegen checked on x86, x86_64,
  arm and arm64: branchless on all four, byte-identical to a raw
  comparison function on every target - no performance cost from the
  switch away from in_range().
