Subject: [PATCH 2/3] locking/rwsem/x86: Add stack frame dependency for __up_write()

kernel/locking/rwsem.o: warning: objtool: up_write()+0x17: call without frame pointer save/setup

The warning means gcc 7.2.0 placed the __up_write() inline asm (and its
call instruction) before the frame pointer setup in up_write(),
which breaks frame pointer convention and can result in incorrect
stack traces.

Force a stack frame to be created before the call instruction by listing
the stack pointer as an output operand in the inline asm statement.
