Due to limitations of LLVM IR, clang cannot pin `sp` to `$r3` unless
`sp` is used by another line of inline assembly
(`asm volatile ("" : "=r" (sp))`).
When compiling with Clang, `os::current_stack_pointer` will return an
unexpected value (from a randomly assigned register).
This patch changes `os::current_stack_pointer` to use inline assembly to
obtain the stack pointer, which avoids the limitation of LLVM IR.
Thanks to Zixing Liu <liushuyu@aosc.io> for pointing out the reason
(GitHub @liushuyu).
