[PATCH v7 2/5] x86/asm: add volatile, clobbers and zero-length check in inline memcmp

Add the volatile qualifier and clobbers parameter to prevent bugs with
instruction reordering and optimization.

Also check the zero-length case, as the 'repe' prefix does not run the
'cmpsb' instruction if the 'count' register is zero, which doesn't set
the condition-code/zero flag, so the result is based on a stale flag.

Those are pre-existing issues found by Sashiko.
