Add overflow_assert! #1159
Description
The name mimics other {kind}_assert!s like debug_assert!, as well as core's ub-checks one (assert_unsafe_precondition!).
Please double check if there are already asserts out there (or perhaps even new ones) that could make use of it, and transform (or add) them in a second patch etc.
See #1162 as well.
This requires submitting a proper patch to the LKML and the Rust for Linux mailing list. Please recall to test your changes (including generating the documentation if changed, running the Rust doctests if changed, etc.), to use a proper title for the commit, to sign your commit under the Developer's Certificate of Origin and to add a Suggested-by: tag, and a Link: tag to this issue. Please see https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html and https://rust-for-linux.com/contributing for details.

Hi, @ojeda :)
is this issue valid?
If it's okay, can I give it a try?

We need some reviews, so it would be nice if you could take a look at it and give a "Reviewed-by" -- thanks!

The latest is v5: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20250819003824.23019-1-contact@antoniohickey.com/
Reviews (and testing with
Tested-by: ...!) there are definitely welcome -- I think it is close to ready, but I left some comments there for a v6.
