Bug#888071: Compatibility with boost 1.62

[Lumin]

I investigated deeper in this problem. There is no any
__CUDACC_VER__ definition in caffe code or cuda headers.
This is a boost problem. CUDA 9.1 won't help.

There are several packages that use this definition, I'm not
sure whether they are affected by this problem:

For applications like caffe your probosed fix is applicable, thanks

Well, seems nothing for the CUDA packaging to change.
