[kvm-unit-tests PATCH 05/14] x86: Force the compiler to retrieve exception info from per-cpu area

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

Tag the exception vector/error code/flags inline asm as volatile so that
it's not elided by the compiler.  Without "volatile", the compiler may
omit the instruction if it inlines the helper and observes that the
memory isn't modified between the store in TRY_CATCH() and the load in
the helper.
