commit e0a96129db574d6365e3439d16d88517c437ab33 upstream.

Impact: fix rare (but currently harmless) miscompile with certain configs and gcc versions

Hugh Dickins noticed that strncpy_from_user() was miscompiled
in some circumstances with gcc 4.3.

Thanks to Hugh's excellent analysis it was easy to track down.

Hugh writes:

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an
early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments
are written before all input arguments are read.

Also add more early clobbers in the rest of the file and fix 32-bit
usercopy.c in the same way.

[ since this API is rarely used and no in-kernel user relies on a 'len'
  return value (they only rely on negative return values) this miscompile
  was never noticed in the field. But it's worth fixing it nevertheless. ]
