Subject: x86/mm/kaslr: Use the _ASM_MUL macro for multiplication to work around Clang incompatibility

From: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@chromium.org>


[ Upstream commit 121843eb02a6e2fa30aefab64bfe183c97230c75 ]

The constraint "rm" allows the compiler to put mix_const into memory.
When the input operand is a memory location then MUL needs an operand
size suffix, since Clang can't infer the multiplication width from the
operand.

Add and use the _ASM_MUL macro which determines the operand size and
resolves to the NUL instruction with the corresponding suffix.

This fixes the following error when building with clang:

  /tmp/kaslr-dfe1ad.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/kaslr-dfe1ad.s:182: Error: no instruction mnemonic suffix given and no register operands; can't size instruction
