4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 9e343e87d2c4c707ef8fae2844864d4dde3a2d13 upstream.
The map_word_() functions, dating back to linux-2.6.8, try to perform bitwise operations on a 'map_word' structure. This may have worked with compilers that were current then (gcc-3.4 or earlier), but end up being rather inefficient on any version I could try now (gcc-4.4 or higher). Specifically we hit a problem analyzed in gcc PR81715 where we fail to reuse the stack space for local variables.
This can be seen immediately in the stack consumption for cfi_staa_erase_varsize() and other functions that (with CONFIG_KASAN) can be up to 2200 bytes. Changing the inline functions into macros brings this down to 1280 bytes. Without KASAN, the same problem exists, but the stack consumption is lower to start with, my patch shrinks it from 920 to 496 bytes on with arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-5.4, and saves around 1KB in .text size for cfi_cmdset_0020.c, as it avoids copying map_word structures for each call to one of these helpers.
With the latest gcc-8 snapshot, the problem is fixed in upstream gcc, but nobody uses that yet, so we should still work around it in mainline kernels and probably backport the workaround to stable kernels as well. We had a couple of other functions that suffered from the same gcc bug, and all of those had a simpler workaround involving dummy variables in the inline function. Unfortunately that did not work here, the macro hack was the best I could come up with.
It would also be helpful to have someone to a little performance testing on the patch, to see how much it helps in terms of CPU utilitzation.
