Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/cpufeature: guard asm_volatile_goto usage with NO_BPF_WORKAROUND

Commit d0266046ad54 ("x86: Remove FAST_FEATURE_TESTS")
removed X86_FAST_FEATURE_TESTS and make macro static_cpu_has() always
use __always_inline function _static_cpu_has() funciton.
The static_cpu_has() uses gcc feature asm_volatile_goto construct,
which is not supported by clang.

Currently, for BPF programs written in C, the only widely-supported
compiler is clang. Because of clang lacking support
of asm_volatile_goto construct, if you try to compile
bpf programs under samples/bpf/,
   $ make -j20 && make headers_install && make samples/bpf/
you will see a lot of failures like below:

  =========================

This patch adds a preprocessor guard NO_BPF_WORKAROUND around the
asm_volatile_goto based static_cpu_has(). NO_BPF_WORKAROUND is set
at toplevel Makefile when compiler supports asm-goto. That is,
if the compiler supports asm-goto, the kernel build will use
asm-goto version of static_cpu_has().

For clang compilation for bpf programs where only header files
are accessed, NO_BPF_WORKAROUND is not defined and asm-goto version
of static_cpu_has() will not be accessed, hence the above compilation
error will disappear.

If later clang compiler starts to support asm_volatile_goto,
the change in this patch can be reverted.
