Subject: [PATCH] security: Use macros from compiler.h instead of gcc specific attributes  

NOTE: Please ignore the earlier similar emails. I apologize sincerely
for the mistake.

To increase compiler portability there is <linux/compiler.h> which
provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs.  Eg: __weak for
__attribute__((weak)).

I've taken up the job of cleaning these attributes all over the kernel.
Currently my patches for cleanup of all files under /kernel, /block and
/mm are already done and in the linux 3.15 tree.

In the following patch I've replaced all aforementioned instances under
the /security directory in the kernel source.

  security: Used macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))
