x86/asm: Improve how GEN_*_SUFFIXED_RMWcc() specify clobbers
Commit: df3405245a ("x86/asm: Add suffix macro for GEN_*_RMWcc()") ... introduced "suffix" RMWcc operations, adding bogus clobber specifiers: For one, on x86 there's no point explicitly clobbering "cc". In fact, with GCC properly fixed, this results in an overlap being detected by the compiler between outputs and clobbers. Furthermore it seems bad practice to me to have clobber specification and use of the clobbered register(s) disconnected - it should rather be at the invocation place of that GEN_{UN,BIN}ARY_SUFFIXED_RMWcc() macros that the clobber is specified which this particular invocation needs. Drop the "cc" clobber altogether and move the "cx" one to refcount.h.
