Currently the asm constriangs for __get_mem_asm() mark the value
register as an earlyclobber operand. This means that the compiler can't
reuse the same register for both the address and value, even when the
value is not subseqeuently used.

There's no need for the value register to be marked as earlyclobber, as
it's only written to after the address register is consumed, even when
the access faults.

Remove the unnecessary earlyclobber.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
