[PATCH] include/uapi/linux/swab.h: define a silent macro to avoid sparse error

From: Bilel DRIRA <hidden>
Date: 2015-06-14 22:24:21

define a silent macro when _CHECKER_ is defined.
This change fixes the following sparse errors:

include/uapi/linux/swab.h:60:16: error: undefined identifier '__builtin_bswap32'
include/uapi/linux/swab.h:60:33: error: not a function <noident>
include/uapi/linux/swab.h:71:16: error: undefined identifier '__builtin_bswap64'
include/uapi/linux/swab.h:71:33: error: not a function <noident>
include/uapi/linux/swab.h:60:33: error: not a function <noident>
