[PATCH] arm64: sysreg: Generate C compiler warnings on {read,write}_sysreg_s arguments

[James Clark]

Evaluate the register before the asm section so that the C compiler
generates warnings when there is an issue with the register argument.

This will prevent possible future issues such as the one seen here [1]
where a missing bracket caused the shift and addition operators to be
evaluated in the wrong order, but no warning was emitted. The GNU
assembler has no warning for when expressions evaluate differently to C
due to different operator precedence, but the C compiler has some
warnings that may suggest something is wrong. For example in this case
the following warning would have been emitted:

  error: operator '>>' has lower precedence than '+'; '+' will be evaluated first [-Werror,-Wshift-op-parentheses]

There are currently no existing warnings that need to be fixed.
