kernel: use macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))

To increase compiler portability there is <linux/compiler.h> which
provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs.  Eg: __weak for
__attribute__((weak)).  I've replaced all instances of gcc attributes
with the right macro in the kernel subsystem.
