A SSAMOSWAP macro that conditionally defines this would be cleaner

I just ran into this on one of my patches that not every compiler
supports output args in asm goto blocks. You need to guard this with the
kconfig option CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_TIED_OUTPUT. Unfortunately, that means
that this code needs two versions, or you can choose to gate CFI behind
this option, it's supported by recent versions of GCC/CLANG.

For readability it is also nice to use labels for the asm variables such
as `"=r" (swap)` can be `[swap] "=r" (swap)` and then replace %0 with
%[swap].
