x86: Use inline assembler instead of global register variable to get sp
LTO in gcc 4.6/47. has trouble with global register variables. They were used
to read the stack pointer. Use a simple inline assembler statement with
a mov instead.
This also helps LLVM/clang, which does not support global register
variables.
[ hpa: Ideally this should become a builtin in both gcc and clang. ]
v2: More general asm constraint. Fix description (Jan Beulich)
