lib/mpi: Eliminate unused umul_ppmm definitions for MIPS

Clang errors out when building this macro:

lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul1.c:37:24: error: invalid use of a cast in a
inline asm context requiring an l-value: remove the cast or build with
-fheinous-gnu-extensions
                umul_ppmm(prod_high, prod_low, s1_ptr[j], s2_limb);
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lib/mpi/longlong.h:652:20: note: expanded from macro 'umul_ppmm'
        : "=l" ((USItype)(w0)), \
                ~~~~~~~~~~^~~
lib/mpi/generic_mpih-mul1.c:37:3: error: invalid output constraint '=h'

                umul_ppmm(prod_high, prod_low, s1_ptr[j], s2_limb);

The C version that is used for GCC 4.4 and up works well with clang;
however, it is not currently being used because Clang masks itself
as GCC 4.2.1 for compatibility reasons. As Nick points out, we require
GCC 4.6 and newer in the kernel so we can eliminate all of the
versioning checks and just use the C version of umul_ppmm for all
supported compilers.
