parisc: fix ldcw inline assembler

Browse Source 
There are two reasons to expose the memory *a in the asm:

1) To prevent the compiler from discarding a preceeding write to *a, and
2) to prevent it from caching *a in a register over the asm.

The change has had a few days testing with a SMP build of 2.6.22.19
running on a rp3440.

This patch is about the correctness of the __ldcw() macro itself.
The use of the macro should be confined to small inline functions
to try to limit the effect of clobbering memory on GCC's optimization
of loads and stores.
