Subject: [PATCH 1/3] powerpc: boot: include compiler_attributes.h

The kernel uses `-include` to include include/linux/compiler_types.h
into all translation units (see scripts/Makefile.lib), which #includes
compiler_attributes.h.

arch/powerpc/boot/ uses different compiler flags from the rest of the
kernel. As such, it doesn't contain the definitions from these headers,
and redefines a few that it needs.

For the purpose of enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough for ppc, include
compiler_types.h via `-include`.

We could just `#include "include/linux/compiler_types.h"` in the few .c
sources used from lib/ (there are proper header guards in
compiler_types.h).

It was also noted in 6a9dc5fd6170 that we could -D__KERNEL__ and
-include compiler_types.h like the main kernel does, though testing that
produces a whole sea of warnings to cleanup. This approach is minimally
invasive.
