The stable backport of the

x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings

patch for 4.4 and 4.9 put new C code for !__HAVE_ARCH_PFN_MODIFY_ALLOWED
code outside the assembler ifdef. This breaks the xtensa and ia64
build as reported by 0day which somehow include this file
into assembler.

Just add an #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__ around the new code to fix this.

This patch is only needed for 4.9 and 4.4 stable, the newer stables
don't have this problem.

This should be fixed in the final stable releases.
The problem was caused by a couple of missing backports.
