[PATCH] x86: modify inline asm constraints in __cmpxchg_double()

[Juergen Gross]

Some gcc versions seem to have problems with the constraints in
__cmpxchg_double() as they suddenly issue a build error when random
parts of sources calling __cmpxchg_double() are modified, like e.g.
slub.c. This has been observed on Debian systems only so far.

Using "0" instead of "a" in the input constraints has the same
semantics while avoiding that build error.

I should note that I have observed gcc hangs instead sometimes. Not
taking any patches modifying users of __cmpxchg_double() due to a gcc
bug which seems to be distro-specific is a bad move IMO.

I'd rather make it clear from build behavior that this is a bug in gcc
by letting the build hang instead of throwing error warnings not in any
way related to changes in the code.

The gcc bug is filed under:
