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.

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

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.
