Building the KVM selftests with LLVM's integrated assembler fails with:

  $ CFLAGS=-fintegrated-as make -C tools/testing/selftests/kvm CC=clang
  lib/x86_64/svm.c:77:16: error: too few operands for instruction
          asm volatile ("vmsave\n\t" : : "a" (vmcb_gpa) : "memory");
                        ^
  <inline asm>:1:2: note: instantiated into assembly here
          vmsave
          ^
  lib/x86_64/svm.c:134:3: error: too few operands for instruction
                  "vmload\n\t"
                  ^
  <inline asm>:1:2: note: instantiated into assembly here
          vmload
          ^
This is because LLVM IAS does not currently support calling vmsave,
vmload, or vmload without an explicit %rax operand.

Add an explicit operand to vmsave, vmload, and vmrum in svm.c. Fixing
this was suggested by Sean Christopherson.

Tested: building without this error in clang 11. The following patch
(not queued yet) needs to be applied to solve the other remaining error:
"selftests: kvm: remove reassignment of non-absolute variables".
