stack: Replace "o" output with "r" input constraint
"o" isn't a common asm() constraint to use; it triggers an assertion in assert-enabled builds of LLVM that it's not recognized when targeting aarch64 (though it appears to fall back to "m"). It's fixed in LLVM 13 now, but there isn't really a good reason to use "o" in particular here. To avoid causing build issues for those using assert-enabled builds of earlier LLVM versions, the constraint needs changing. Instead, if the point is to retain the __builtin_alloca(), make ptr appear to "escape" via being an input to an empty inline asm block. This is preferable anyways, since otherwise this looks like a dead store. While the use of "r" was considered in https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/202104011447.2E7F543@keescook/ it was only tested as an output (which looks like a dead store, and wasn't sufficient). Use "r" as an input constraint instead, which behaves correctly across compilers and architectures.
