It turns out that int3_selftest() is corrupting the stack. The problem is
that the KASAN-ified version of int3_magic() is much less trivial than the
C code appears. It clobbers several unexpected registers. So when the
selftest's INT3 is converted to an emulated call to int3_magic(), the
registers are clobbered and Bad Things happen when the function returns.
Fix this by converting int3_magic() to the trivial ASM function it should
be, avoiding all calling convention issues. Also add ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT to
the INT3 ASM, since it contains a 'CALL'.
