bn_mul.h: fix x86 PIC inline ASM compilation with GCC < 5
Fixes Mbed-TLS#1910 With ebx added to the MULADDC_STOP clobber list to fix Mbed-TLS#1550, the inline assembly fails to build with GCC < 5 in PIC mode with the following error: include/mbedtls/bn_mul.h:46:13: error: PIC register clobbered by ‘ebx’ in ‘asm’ This is because older GCC versions treated the x86 ebx register (which is used for the GOT) as a fixed reserved register when building as PIC. This is fixed by an improved register allocator in GCC 5+. From the release notes: Register allocation improvements: Reuse of the PIC hard register, instead of using a fixed register, was implemented on x86/x86-64 targets. This improves generated PIC code performance as more hard registers can be used. https://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-5/changes.html As a workaround, detect this situation and disable the inline assembly, similar to the MULADDC_CANNOT_USE_R7 logic.
