[PATCH v3] Compiler Attributes: don't pollute userspace with macro definitions

[Xiaozhou Liu]

Macros 'inline' and '__gnu_inline' used to be defined in compiler-gcc.h,
which was (and is) included entirely in (__KERNEL__ && !__ASSEMBLY__).
Commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h mutually
exclusive") had those macros exposed to userspace, unintentionally.

Then commit a3f8a30f3f00 ("Compiler Attributes: use feature checks
instead of version checks") moved '__gnu_inline' back into
(__KERNEL__ && !__ASSEMBLY__) and 'inline' was left behind. Since 'inline'
depends on '__gnu_inline', compiling error showing "unknown type name
â__gnu_inlineâ" will pop up, if userspace somehow includes
<linux/compiler.h>.

Other macros like __must_check, notrace, etc. are in a similar situation.
So just move all these macros back into (__KERNEL__ && !__ASSEMBLY__).

Note:
  1. This patch only affects what userspace sees.
  2. __must_check (when !CONFIG_ENABLE_MUST_CHECK) and noinline_for_stack
     were once defined in __KERNEL__ only, but we believe that they can
     be put into !__ASSEMBLY__ too.
