Committed with this changelog:

"btrfs: let the assertion expression compile in all configs

A compiler warning (in a patch in development) pointed to a variable
that was used only inside and ASSERT:

u64 root_objectid = root->root_key.objectid;
ASSERT(root_objectid == ...);

fs/btrfs/relocation.c: In function âinsert_dirty_subvâ:
fs/btrfs/relocation.c:2138:6: warning: unused variable âroot_objectidâ [-Wunused-variable]
u64 root_objectid = root->root_key.objectid;
^~~~~~~~~~~~~

When CONFIG_BRTFS_ASSERT isn't enabled, variable root_objectid isn't used.

Rework the assertion helper by adding a runtime check instead of the
'#ifdef CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT #else ...", so the compiler sees the
condition being passed into an inline function after preprocessing."
