Clang seems to have a bug with asm inside inline function rte_xabort():

rte_rtm.h:56:15: error: invalid operand for inline asm constraint 'i'
        asm volatile(".byte 0xc6,0xf8,%P0" :: "i" (status) : "memory");
                     ^

It is seen only when building with EXTRA_CFLAGS=-O0.

The workaround is to replace the inline function by a macro.

Fixes: ba7468997ea6 ("spinlock: add HTM lock elision for x86")

Generally speaking, it's not a good idea to replace a static inline by a
macro because it relaxes type checking. Looks ok in that case to
workaround the clang issue.
