[PATCH v3 2/4] riscv: uaccess: use input constraints for ptr of __put_user()

From: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang at kernel.org>

Putting ptr in the inputs as opposed to output may seem incorrect but
this is done for a few reasons:
- Not having it in the output permits the use of asm goto in a
  subsequent patch. There are bugs in gcc [1] which would otherwise
  prevent it.
- Since the output memory is userspace there isn't any real benefit from
  telling the compiler about the memory clobber.
- x86, arm and powerpc all use this technique.
