LoongArch: vDSO: Correctly use asm parameters in syscall wrappers

Browse source 
commit e242bbbb6d upstream.

The syscall wrappers use the "a0" register for two different register
variables, both the first argument and the return value. Here the "ret"
variable is used as both input and output while the argument register is
only used as input. Clang treats the conflicting input parameters as an
undefined behaviour and optimizes away the argument assignment.

The code seems to work by chance for the most part today but that may
change in the future. Specifically clock_gettime_fallback() fails with
clockids from 16 to 23, as implemented by the upcoming auxiliary clocks.

Switch the "ret" register variable to a pure output, similar to the
other architectures' vDSO code. This works in both clang and GCC.
