Subject: [PATCH 1/1] mm: use macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))

To increase compiler portability there is <linux/compiler.h> which
provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs.  Eg: __weak
for __attribute__((weak)).  I've replaced all instances of gcc
attributes with the right macro in the memory management
(/mm) subsystem.
