powerpc/uaccess: Fix __get_user() with CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT



Building kernel mainline with GCC 11 leads to following failure
when starting 'init':

  init[1]: bad frame in sys_sigreturn: 7ff5a900 nip 001083cc lr 001083c4
  Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b

This is an issue due to a segfault happening in
__unsafe_restore_general_regs() in a loop copying registers from user
to kernel:

  10:	7d 09 03 a6 	mtctr   r8
  14:	80 ca 00 00 	lwz     r6,0(r10)
  18:	80 ea 00 04 	lwz     r7,4(r10)
  1c:	90 c9 00 08 	stw     r6,8(r9)
  20:	90 e9 00 0c 	stw     r7,12(r9)
  24:	39 0a 00 08 	addi    r8,r10,8
  28:	39 29 00 08 	addi    r9,r9,8
  2c:	81 4a 00 08 	lwz     r10,8(r10)  <== r10 is clobbered here
  30:	81 6a 00 0c 	lwz     r11,12(r10)
  34:	91 49 00 08 	stw     r10,8(r9)
  38:	91 69 00 0c 	stw     r11,12(r9)
  3c:	39 48 00 08 	addi    r10,r8,8
  40:	39 29 00 08 	addi    r9,r9,8
  44:	42 00 ff d0 	bdnz    14 <__unsafe_restore_general_regs+0x14>

As shown above, this is due to r10 being re-used by GCC. This didn't
happen with CLANG.

This is fixed by tagging 'x' output as an earlyclobber operand in
__get_user_asm2_goto().
