x86: fix rdrand asm()
Just learned the hard way that at least for non-volatile asm()s gcc indeed does what the documentation says: It may move it across jumps (i.e. ahead of the cpu_has() check). While the documentation claims that this can also happen for volatile asm()s, if that was the case we'd have many more problems in our code (and e,g, Linux would too).
