x86/asm: Use %a instead of %P operand modifier in asm templates

The "P" asm operand modifier is a x86 target-specific modifier.

For x86_64, when used with a symbol reference, the "%P" modifier
emits "sym" instead of "sym(%rip)". This property is currently
used to issue bare symbol reference.

The generic "a" operand modifier should be used instead. The "a"
asm operand modifier substitutes a memory reference, with the
actual operand treated as address.  For x86_64, when a symbol is
provided, the "a" modifier emits "sym(%rip)" instead of "sym",
enabling shorter %rip-relative addressing.

Also note that unlike GCC, clang emits %rip-relative symbol
reference with "P" asm operand modifier, so the patch also unifies
symbol handling with both compilers.

No functional changes intended.
