Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ARC: uaccess: dont use "l" inline as constraint

This constraint has been removed from gcc

There was an earlier fix 3c7c7a2fc8811 which fixed this in delay.h but
somehow missed this one as gcc change had not made its way into
production toolchains

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ARC: provide for gcc "isolate path" induced generated abort calls

gcc toggle -fisolate-erroneous-paths-dereference (default at -O2
onwards) isolates faulty code paths such as null pointer access, divide
by zero etc. If gcc port doesnt implement __builtin_trap, an abort() is
generated which causes kernel link error hence this patch.

FWIW ARC gcc now has the builtin, but we need to handle this error for
older toolchains.

The code in question triggering gcc is in lib/mpi/mpih-div.o
