commit b4c112114aab9aff5ed4568ca5e662bb02cdfe74 upstream.

In create_zero_mask() we have:

addi %1,%2,-1
andc %1,%1,%2
popcntd %0,%1

using the "r" constraint for %2. r0 is a valid register in the "r" set,
but addi X,r0,X turns it into an li:

li r7,-1
andc r7,r7,r0
popcntd r4,r7

Fix this by using the "b" constraint, for which r0 is not a valid
register.

This was found with a kernel build using gcc trunk, narrowed down to
when -frename-registers was enabled at -O2. It is just luck however
that we aren't seeing this on older toolchains.

Thanks to Segher for working with me to find this issue.
