x86, fpu: correct the asm constraints for fxsave, unbreak mxcsr.daz 

GCC will optimize mxcsr_feature_mask_init in arch/x86/kernel/i387.c:

		memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct));
		asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch));
		mask = fx_scratch.mxcsr_mask;
		if (mask == 0)
			mask = 0x0000ffbf;

to

		memset(&fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct));
		asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch));
		mask = 0x0000ffbf;

since asm statement doesn’t say it will update fx_scratch.  As the
result, the DAZ bit will be cleared.  This patch fixes it. This bug
dates back to at least kernel 2.6.12.
