[PATCH] powerpc/ftrace: fix constraint to be early clobber

From: Steven Rostedt

After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function
graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes.

The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for
an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and
reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had
to be flagged as an "early clobber".

I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.
