Subject: kernel: add support for gcc 5
From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 71458cfc782eafe4b27656e078d379a34e472adf upstream.
We're missing include/linux/compiler-gcc5.h which is required now
because gcc branched off to v5 in trunk.
Just copy the relevant bits out of include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h,
no new code is added as of now.
This fixes a build error when using gcc 5.
