[PATCH] disable lock annotation with clang 3.4.2

Venerable RHEL7 clang 3.4.2 has (at least) two issues with lock
annotations.
A first one with regards to the attribute position:
../lib/vhost/vhost.h:518:2: error: GCC does not allow
assert_exclusive_lock attribute in this position on a
function definition [-Werror,-Wgcc-compat]
__rte_assert_exclusive_lock(&vq->access_lock)
^
../lib/eal/include/rte_lock_annotations.h:29:38: note: expanded
from macro '__rte_assert_exclusive_lock'
__attribute__((assert_exclusive_lock(__VA_ARGS__)))
^
This can be worked around by splitting and having the allocation on the
function declaration.
But on the other hand, clang 3.4.2 does not seem to propagate those
annotations in presence of a __builtin_expect (i.e. unlikely()), like
for example when calling if (unlikely(rte_spinlock_trylock() == 0)).
Those annotations were only working with clang in any case, so restrict
to clang versions newer than 3.5.0.
Fixes: 657a98f38940 ("eal: annotate spinlock, rwlock and seqlock")
