Add __nonnull_args() to unconditional guard constructors so the compiler
warns when NULL is statically known to be passed:

- DEFINE_GUARD(): re-declare the constructor with __nonnull_args().
- __DEFINE_LOCK_GUARD_1(): annotate the constructor directly.

DEFINE_LOCK_GUARD_0() needs no annotation: its constructor takes no
pointer arguments (.lock is hardcoded to (void *)1).

Define the __nonnull_args() macro in compiler_attributes.h, following
the existing convention for attribute wrappers. Deliberately not named
'__nonnull', to avoid clashing with glibc's __nonnull() when kernel and
userspace headers are combined (User Mode Linux for example).
