x86/refcount: Work around GCC inlining bug

As described in:

  77b0bf55bc67: ("kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs")

GCC's inlining heuristics are broken with common asm() patterns used in
kernel code, resulting in the effective disabling of inlining.

The workaround is to set an assembly macro and call it from the inline
assembly block. As a result GCC considers the inline assembly block as
a single instruction. (Which it isn't, but that's the best we can get.)

This patch allows GCC to inline simple functions such as __get_seccomp_filter().

To no-one's surprise the result is that GCC performs more aggressive (read: correct)
inlining decisions in these senarios, which reduces the kernel size and presumably
also speeds it up:

      text     data     bss      dec     hex  filename
  18140970 10225412 2957312 31323694 1ddf62e  ./vmlinux before
  18140140 10225284 2957312 31322736 1ddf270  ./vmlinux after (-958)

16 fewer static text symbols:

   Before: 40302
    After: 40286 (-16)

these got inlined instead.

Functions such as kref_get(), free_user(), fuse_file_get() now get inlined. Hurray!

[ mingo: Rewrote the changelog. ]
