[RFC PATCH 3/5] compiler-gcc.h: add asm_inline definition

[Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>]

This adds an asm_inline macro which expands to "asm inline" when gcc
is new enough (>= 9.1), and just asm for older gccs and other
compilers.

Using asm inline("foo") instead of asm("foo") overrules gcc's
heuristic estimate of the size of the code represented by the asm()
statement, and makes gcc use the minimum possible size instead. That
can in turn affect gcc's inlining decisions.

I wasn't sure whether to make this a function-like macro or not - this
way, it can be combined with volatile as

  asm_inline volatile()

but perhaps we'd prefer to spell that

  asm_inline_volatile()

anyway.
