pcm: dmix: i386: keep the size operand in memory

[GitHub pull_request - opened]

alsa-project/alsa-lib pull request #537 was opened from yegorich:

The i386 `mix_areas_*()` assembly clobbers esi, edi, edx, ecx, eax and ebx. At `-Os` gcc also uses ebp as frame pointer, so no general purpose register is left.

Since abc9f32cf45c ("pcm: dmix: assembly: give more freedom over the constraints") the `size` operand is `"+&rm"`. With AVX512BW enabled (`-march=skylake-avx512`, `cannonlake`, `icelake-client`, `x86-64-v4`, or `-mavx512bw`) and `-Os`/`-Oz`, gcc 15.3 and 16.2 then fail:

```
pcm_dmix_i386.h:52:9: error: 'asm' operand has impossible constraints or there are not enough registers
```

This patch restores the `"+m"` constraint used before that commit for `size`, in all five functions.

Testing: compiled `pcm_dmix_i386.h` with gcc 15.3.0 and 16.2.0 (i686), for -O0/-O1/-O2/-O3/-Os/-Oz × 9 `-march` values × with/without `-fPIC`. Before: all `-Os`/`-Oz` + AVX512BW combinations fail. After: all 108 combinations build. A full i686 Buildroot build of alsa-lib with the failing configuration passes as well.
