x86/delay: Fix the wrong asm constraint in delay_loop()

stable inclusion
from stable-4.19.247
commit 12ffed97ae3303c3c4bc772c9329a9977a9941d6
category: bugfix
bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5FNPY


CVE: NA

--------------------------------

[ Upstream commit b86eb74098a92afd789da02699b4b0dd3f73b889 ]

The asm constraint does not reflect the fact that the asm statement can
modify the value of the local variable loops. Which it does.

Specifying the wrong constraint may lead to undefined behavior, it may
clobber random stuff (e.g. local variable, important temporary value in
regs, etc.). This is especially dangerous when the compiler decides to
inline the function and since it doesn't know that the value gets
modified, it might decide to use it from a register directly without
reloading it.

Change the constraint to "+a" to denote that the first argument is an
input and an output argument.
