compiler.h: move __is_constexpr() to compiler.h

Prior to f747e6667ebb2 __is_constexpr() was in its only user minmax.h.
That commit moved it to const.h - but that file just defines ULL(x) and
UL(x) so that constants can be defined for .S and .c files.

So apart from the word 'const' it wasn't really a good location. Instead
move the definition to compiler.h just before the similar

is_signed_type() and is_unsigned_type().

This may not be a good long-term home, but the three definitions belong
together.

# f747e666 22-May-2021 Rikard Falkeborn <rikard.falkeborn@gmail.com>

linux/bits.h: fix compilation error with GENMASK

GENMASK() has an input check which uses __builtin_choose_expr() to
enable a compile time sanity check of its inputs if they are known at
compile time.

However, it turns out that __builtin_constant_p() does not always return
a compile time constant [0]. It was thought this problem was fixed with
gcc 4.9 [1], but apparently this is not the case [2].

Switch to use __is_constexpr() instead which always returns a compile time
constant, regardless of its inputs.

tools headers: Update linux/vdso.h and grab a copy of vdso/const.h

To get in line with:

8165b57bca21 ("linux/const.h: Extract common header for vDSO")

And silence this tools/perf/ build warning:

Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/linux/const.h' differs from latest version at 'include/linux/const.h'
diff -u tools/include/linux/const.h include/linux/const.h

# aaa6ef8a 19-Aug-2019 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

tools headers: Grab copy of linux/const.h, needed by linux/bits.h

So that can update the copy of linux/bits.h that now uses macros defined
in const.h and that are not available in older systems.
