The problem is that math fonts in latex are not initialized by
default but only at the first math. So quite often you have to
typeset some formula first to see some effect. So this here works (I
used larger values to see the difference better):

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twoside]{book}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[math-style=TeX]{unicode-math}
\setmainfont{Constantia}
\setmathfont{Cambria Math}
\def\IHb#1{{\hskip-#1bp\relax}} %
\begin{document}

%needed (or some math formula which calls \check at mathfonts
\makeatletter\check at mathfonts\makeatother

\directlua{
tex.setmath("global", "fractionnumup", "display", 1131072)
tex.setmath("global", "fractionnumvgap", "display", 1163840)
}



\[ 
    \int_{\IHb{3}a}^{\IHb{1.5}b}u\frac{d^2v}{dx^2}\,dx
    =\left.u\frac{dv}{dx}\right|_a^b
    -\int_{\IHb{3}a}^{\IHb{1.5}b}\frac{du}{dx}\frac{dv}{dx}\,dx.
\]

\end{document}


It's similar with the commands:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twoside]{book}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[math-style=TeX]{unicode-math}
\setmainfont{Constantia}
\setmathfont{Cambria Math}
\def\IHb#1{{\hskip-#1bp\relax}} %
\begin{document}

%$a$   %<--- needed


\Umathfractionnumup\displaystyle=20pt
\Umathfractionnumvgap\displaystyle=25.5bp

\[ 
    \int_{\IHb{3}a}^{\IHb{1.5}b}u\frac{d^2v}{dx^2}\,dx
    =\left.u\frac{dv}{dx}\right|_a^b
    -\int_{\IHb{3}a}^{\IHb{1.5}b}\frac{du}{dx}\frac{dv}{dx}\,dx.
\]

\end{document}

(tested on texlive 2016)
