[RFC PATCH 1/2] arm64: jump_label: use more precise asm constraints

In order to set bit #0 of the struct static_key pointer in the the jump
label struct, we currently cast the pointer to char[], and take the
address of either the 0th or 1st array member, depending on the value of
'branch'. This works but creates problems with -fpie code generation:
GCC complains about the constraint being unsatisfiable, and Clang
miscompiles the code in a way that causes stability issues (immediate
panic on 'attempt to kill init')
So instead, pass the struct static_key reference and the 'branch'
immediate individually, in a way that satisfies both GCC and Clang (GCC
wants the 'S' constraint, whereas Clang wants the 'i' constraint for
argument %0)
