[PATCH 2/2] overflow, tracing: Define the is_signed_type() macro once

[Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org>]

There are two definitions of the is_signed_type() macro: one in
<linux/overflow.h> and a second definition in <linux/trace_events.h>.

As suggested by Linus Torvalds, move the definition of the
is_signed_type() macro into the <linux/compiler.h> header file. Change
the definition of the is_signed_type() macro to make sure that it does
not trigger any sparse warnings with future versions of sparse for
bitwise types. See also:
