Since commit 815f0ddb34 ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h
mutually exclusive") clang no longer reuses the OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR macro
from compiler-gcc - instead it gets the version in
include/linux/compiler.h. Unfortunately that version doesn't actually
prevent compiler from optimizing out the variable.
Fix up by moving the macro out from compiler-gcc.h to compiler.h.
Compilers without incline asm support will keep working
since it's protected by an ifdef.
Also fix up comments to match reality since we are no longer overriding
any macros.
Build-tested with gcc and clang.
