Subject: [PATCH v3 3/6] locking/rwsem/x86: Add stack frame dependency for __downgrade_write()

kernel/locking/rwsem.o: warning: objtool: downgrade_write()+0x22: call without frame pointer save/setup

The warning means gcc 7.2.0 placed the __downgrade_write() inline asm (and
its call instruction) before the frame pointer setup in downgrade_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.
