[PATCH] x86/special_insn: reverse __force_order logic

[Nadav Amit <nadav.amit@gmail.com>]

From: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com>

The __force_order logic seems to be inverted. __force_order is
supposedly used to manipulate the compiler to use its memory
dependencies analysis to enforce orders between CR writes and reads.
Therefore, the memory should behave as a "CR": when the CR is read, the
memory should be "read" by the inline assembly, and __force_order should
be an output. When the CR is written, the memory should be "written".

This change should allow to remove the "volatile" qualifier from CR
reads at a later patch.

While at it, remove the extra new-line from the inline assembly, as it
only confuses GCC when it estimates the cost of the inline assembly.

Unless I misunderstand the logic, __force_order should also be used by
rdpkru() and wrpkru() which do not have dependency on __force_order. I
also did not understand why native_write_cr0() has R/W dependency on
__force_order, and why native_write_cr4() no longer has any dependency
on __force_order.
