ARM: mvebu: Fix the operand list in the inline asm of armada_370_xp_pmsu_idle_enter

In the inline asm part of the function armada_370_xp_pmsu_idle_enter()
the input operand was used. The intent here was to let the compiler
choose this register so it could do the optimization it
needed.

However an input operand is not supposed to be modified by the inline
asm code. This can lead to improper generated instructions.

In some case generated instruction the compiler made the choice to
reuse the same register to store the return value. But in the assembly
part this register was modified, so it can lead to return an wrong
value.

The fix is to use a clobber. Thanks to this the compiler will know
that the value of this register will be modified.
