inline assembly.

make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:283: lib/iov_iter.o] Error 1
Define a UPD_CONSTR macro that is "<>" by default and
only "" with GCC prior to GCC 5.
Fixes: fcf1f26895a4 ("powerpc/uaccess: Add pre-update addressing to
__put_user_asm_goto()")
Fixes: 2f279eeb68b8 ("powerpc/uaccess: Add pre-update addressing to
__get_user_asm() and __put_user_asm()")

v2: Moved UPD_CONSTR to asm-const.h to avoid circular inclusion issues with
patch 3.
