arm64: uaccess: permit put_{user,kernel} to use zero register
Currently the asm constraints for __put_mem_asm() 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: __put_user(0, addr) ... the compiler has to move '0' into "real" GPR, e.g. mov xN, #0 sttr 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: sttr xzr, [<addr>] Modify the asm constaints for __put_mem_asm() to permit the use of the zero register for the value. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
