[PATCH] Inconsistent constraint in asm-i386/rwsem.h

Hi,

In include/asm-i386/rwsem.h:__up_read(), the auto variable 'tmp' is
asserted to be in edx. This patch adjusts the constraint to match
the variable.

It could be argued that tmp should be declared register instead. I
didn't because the function is inlined. The compiler will know how
much register pressure there is in each instance.

Cheers,
Tom
