Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 21/57] compiler.h: update definition of unreachable()

From: "ndesaulniers@...gle.com" <ndesaulniers@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit fe0640eb30b7da261ae84d252ed9ed3c7e68dfd8 ]

Fixes the objtool warning seen with Clang:
arch/x86/mm/fault.o: warning: objtool: no_context()+0x220: unreachable
instruction

Fixes commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h
mutually exclusive")

Josh noted that the fallback definition was meant to work around a
pre-gcc-4.6 bug. GCC still needs to work around
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82365, so compiler-gcc.h
defines its own version of unreachable().  Clang and ICC can use this
shared definition.
