Subject[PATCH] x86: drop bogus "cc" clobber from __try_cmpxchg_user_asm()
As noted (and fixed) a couple of times in the past, "=@cc<cond>" outputs
and clobbering of "cc" don't work well together. The compiler appears to
mean to reject such, but doesn't - in its upstream form - quite manage
to yet for "cc". Furthermore two similar macros don't clobber "cc", and
clobbering "cc" is pointless in asm()-s for x86 anyway - the compiler
always assumes status flags to be clobbered there.

Fixes: 989b5db215a2 ("x86/uaccess: Implement macros for CMPXCHG on user addresses")

The change I continue to carry locally actually allows specifying that
"cc" is _not_ clobbered; it only happens to improve detection of bad
situations like the one here.
