ix86: Tighten asmlinkage_protect() constraints
While the description of the commit that originally introduced asmlinkage_protect() validly says that this doesn't guarantee clobbering of the function arguments, using "m" constraints rather than "g" ones reduces the risk (by making it less attractive to the compiler to move those variables into registers) and generally results in better code (because we know the arguments are in memory anyway, and are frequently - if not always - used just once, with the second [compiler visible] use in asmlinkage_protect() itself being a fake one).
