[PATCH] arm64: jump_label: use constraint "S" instead of "i"

The constraint "i" seems to be copied from x86 (and with a redundant
modifier "c"). It works with -fno-PIE but not with -fPIE/-fPIC in GCC's
aarch64 port.

The constraint "S", which denotes a symbol reference (e.g. function,
global variable) or label reference, is more appropriate, and has been
available in GCC since 2012 and in Clang since 7.0.
