Fix build errors due to CONFIG_BRANCH_TRACER=y

The code that enables branch tracing for all (non-constant) branches
plays games with the preprocessor and #define's the C 'if ()' construct
to do tracing.

That's all fine, but it fails for some unusual but valid C code that is
sometimes used in macros, notably by the intel-iommu code:

	if (i=drhd->iommu, drhd->ignored) ..

because now the preprocessor complains about multiple arguments to the
'if' macro.

So make the macro expansion of this particularly horrid trick use
varargs, and handle the case of comma-expressions in if-statements.  Use
another macro to do it cleanly in just one place.

This replaces a patch by David (and acked by Steven) that did this all
inside that one already-too-horrid macro.
