As per the standard this is UB, i.e. we're building on an extension in
the compilers we use (for gcc, see "The C Preprocessor" section
"Directives Within Macro Arguments"). Misra C:2012 rule 20.6 disallows
this altogether, though.

Combine the fix with some tidying: Fold the two level-1 checks, adjust in
particular comment style, and move the unlikely() use to a single inner
part of the conditional.

No functional change intended.
