[PATCH] x86: override __compiletime_object_size()

[Jan Beulich]

As discussed in the context of commits 3df7b41a ("x86: Unify
copy_from_user() size checking") and 7a3d9b0f ("x86: Unify
copy_to_user() and add size checking to it"), we want to leverage
__builtin_object_size() also on newer gcc versions, but with other
architectures still using another model of copy_*_user() verification
we can't replace the global definition. Do it in the (only) header
needing the construct for now.
