Add "memory" clobbers to the x86 inline asm of strncmp and friends
They don't actually clobber memory, but gcc doesn't even know they _read_ memory, so can apparently re-order memory accesses around them. Which obviously does the wrong thing if the memory access happens to change the memory that the compare function is accessing.. Verified to fix a strange boot problem by Jens Axboe.
