Now that GCC 5.1 is the minimum supported version, we can drop this
workaround for older versions of GCC. This adversely affected clang,
too.

The only reason this exists is because of commit 592bbe9c505d 
("powerpc/uaccess: Don't use "m<>" constraint with GCC 4.9"). It is 
probably just worth sinking "<>" into all of the callsites and removing
UPD_CONSTR.
