Turns out clang already has a warning for this, -Wcomma:

  drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c:1017:38: error: possible misuse of comma operator here [-Werror,-Wcomma]
   1017 |                         msg.msg_flags &= ~MSG_SPLICE_PAGES,
        |                                                           ^
  drivers/nvme/host/tcp.c:1017:4: note: cast expression to void to silence warning
   1017 |                         msg.msg_flags &= ~MSG_SPLICE_PAGES,
        |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        |                         (void)(                           )
  1 error generated.

Let me do some wider build testing to see if it is viable to turn this
on for the whole kernel because it seems worth it, at least in this
case. There are a lot of cases where a warning won't be emitted (see the
original upstream review for a list: https://reviews.llvm.org/D3976) but
something is better than nothing, right? :)

Cheers,
