x86, asm: Fix a compilation issue with clang

Clang does not support the "shortcut" we're taking here for gcc (see below).
The patch uses the macro _ASM_DX to do the job.

>From arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:
/*
 * Careful: we have to cast the result to the type of the pointer
 * for sign reasons.
 *
 * The use of %edx as the register specifier is a bit of a
 * simplification, as gcc only cares about it as the starting point
 * and not size: for a 64-bit value it will use %ecx:%edx on 32 bits
 * (%ecx being the next register in gcc's x86 register sequence), and
 * %rdx on 64 bits.
 */

[ hpa: I consider this a compatibility bug in clang as this reflects a
  bit of a misunderstanding about how register strings are used by
  gcc, but the workaround is straightforward and there is no
  particular reason to not do it. ]
