Macros 'inline' and '__gnu_inline' used to be defined within __KERNEL__.
Commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h mutually
exclusive") had them exposed to userspace (unintentionally).
Then commit a3f8a30f3f00 ("Compiler Attributes: use feature checks instead
of version checks") moved __gnu_inline back into __KERNEL__ and inline
was left behind. Since inline depends on __gnu_inline, compiling error
showing "unknown type name ‘__gnu_inline’" will pop up, if userspace
somehow includes <linux/compiler.h>.
Other macros like __must_check, notrace, etc. used to be defined within
__KERNEL__ too. So just move these macros back into __KERNEL__.
v2: update commit message.
