include/linux/compiler_types.h: don't pollute userspace with macro definitions
Macros 'inline' and '__gnu_inline' used to be defined in compiler-gcc.h, which was (and is) included entirely in (__KERNEL__ && !__ASSEMBLY__). Commit 815f0ddb ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h mutually exclusive") had those macros exposed to userspace, unintentionally. Then commit a3f8a30f ("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 ‘__gnu_inline’" 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.
