[PATCH] gdb: x86: fix x32 builds with inline asm


The inline assembly fails with x32 targets due to pushq used with a 32bit
register.  Since the assembler can do the right thing with a "push" insn
and a 32bit or 64bit register (i.e. it'll pushl or pushq as needed), just
use that insn.

	* common/linux-ptrace.c (linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx): Change pushl
	to push in i386 inline asm and %esp to sp.  Delete __i386__ check
	and __x86_64__ inline asm.
---
Note: I'm not 100% on the "sp" constraint.  Seems to work, and reading
	the gcc constraints list looks like it aliases sp/esp/rsp to the same
	thing.
