x86, asm: Fix a compilation issue with clang
Clang does not support the "shortcut" we're taking here for gcc (see below).
The patch uses the macro _ASM_DX to do the job.
From arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:
/*
* Careful: we have to cast the result to the type of the pointer
* for sign reasons.
*
* The use of %edx as the register specifier is a bit of a
* simplification, as gcc only cares about it as the starting point
* and not size: for a 64-bit value it will use %ecx:%edx on 32 bits
* (%ecx being the next register in gcc's x86 register sequence), and
* %rdx on 64 bits.
*/
[ hpa: I consider this a compatibility bug in clang as this reflects a
bit of a misunderstanding about how register strings are used by
gcc, but the workaround is straightforward and there is no
particular reason to not do it. ]
