Ok, other places at uaccess.h have the same pattern. After
sleeping over it, it is now clear to me the rationale:

you're using an inline to enforce typecast check, as using just a
macro won't be doing cast checks.

The define will let to use gcc preprocessor #if/#ifdef logic to check 
if the symbol was defined or not, which makes sense as not all
architectures have it.

Clever.

Patch LGTM.
