arm64: uaccess: permit __smp_store_release() to use zero register
Currently the asm constraints for __smp_store_release() require that the value is placed in a "real" GPR (i.e. one other than [XW]ZR or SP). This means that for cases such as: __smp_store_release(ptr, 0) ... the compiler has to move '0' into "real" GPR, e.g. mov xN, #0 stlr xN, [<addr>] This is unfortunate, as using the zero register would require fewer instructions and save a "real" GPR for other usage, allowing the compiler to generate: stlr xzr, [<addr>] Modify the asm constaints for __smp_store_release() to permit the use of the zero register for the value. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
