[PATCH] fix extern inline errors with gcc 4.3.0

[Benny Halevy]

gcc 4.3.0 needs -funit-at-a-time for extern inline functions
otherwise it doesn't find their body.

For example:
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.3.0 20080428 (Red Hat 4.3.0-8)

/usr0/export/dev/bhalevy/git/linux-pnfs-bh-nfs41/fs/buffer.c: In function âalloc_page_buffersâ:
/usr0/export/dev/bhalevy/git/linux-pnfs-bh-nfs41/fs/buffer.c:51: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in call to âinit_bufferâ: function body not available
/usr0/export/dev/bhalevy/git/linux-pnfs-bh-nfs41/fs/buffer.c:948: sorry, unimplemented: called from here

Fix follows the lines of commit 22eecde2f9034764a3fd095eecfa3adfb8ec9a98
that was reverted by commit c0a18111e571138747a98af18b3a2124df56a0d1,
just limiting the flag for pre- gcc 4.3.0 rather than 4.0.
