[PATCH v2 2/6] selftests/x86: build fsgsbase_restore.c with clang

First of all, in order to build with clang at all, one must first apply
Valentin Obst's build fix for LLVM [1]. Once that is done, then when
building with clang, via:

make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests

Fix this by moving the inline asm to "pure" assembly, in two new files:
clang_helpers_32.S, clang_helpers_64.S.

As a bonus, the pure asm avoids the need for ifdefs, and is now very
simple and easy on the eyes.
