Passing the address of a variable as an operand to an asm statement

Thanks! I'll apply and queue for -stable.
BTW, is it reasonable to assume we never saw the problem before because
there used to be a set_fs() call in flush_thread()?
Cfr. commit b7de110044b4e26adcb7b278d14da93133692ed7 ("m68k, exec:
remove redundant set_fs(USER_DS)"),

That would mean it happens in 3.1 and later only.
