[PATCH 1/2] <sys/cdefs.h>: Decay expression passed to fallback version of __generic()

[Sebastian Huber <sebastian.huber@embedded-brains.de>]

From: John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org>

This ensures that __generic() more closely matches _Generic() when
using the fallback version when _Generic() is not available (such as
GCC).
