Subject: [PATCH v2] MIPS: Check __clang__ to avoid performance influence with GCC in csum_tcpudp_nofold()

The asm code in csum_tcpudp_nofold() is performance-critical, I am sorry
for the poorly considered implementation about the performance influence
with GCC in the commit 198688edbf77 ("MIPS: Fix inline asm input/output
type mismatch in checksum.h used with Clang").

With this patch, we can build successfully by both GCC and Clang,
at the same time, we can avoid the potential performance influence
with GCC.
