Workaround: fix compilation with icc and linear_operator

Disables the sfinae lookup in the has_vmult_add helper class for faulty
icc. Intel's compiler up version 15.0.3 run into an sfinae bug otherwise.

For affected compiler versions, has_vmult_add will always report "false"
for icc which will result in a slight performance penalty due to
unnecessary temporary storage.
