Subject: [PATCH] Compiler Attributes: move kernel-only attributes into __KERNEL__

Attributes such as `__gnu_inline' are meant to be used within the
kernel. When userspace somehow includes <linux/compiler.h>
(eg. tools/bpf), compilation errors would be shown:

        "error: unknown type name ‘__gnu_inline’"

So just move these things into __KERNEL__ and the behavior is kept
as before.

Fixes: a3f8a30f3f00 ("Compiler Attributes: use feature checks instead of version checks")
