Subject: include/linux/compiler*.h: add version detection to asm_volatile_goto
The comment above asm_volatile_goto mentions working around a GCC bug, and
links to a bug report that claims this has been fixed in newer versions of
GCC. Testing shows that this was resolved in GCC 4.8.2.
asm_volatile_goto should also be defined for other compilers that support
asm goto.
