arm64/io: Allow I/O writes to use {W,X}ZR

When zeroing an I/O location, the current accessors are forced to
allocate a temporary register to store the zero for the write. By
tweaking the assembly constraints, we can allow the compiler to use
the zero register directly in such cases, and save some juggling.
Compiling a representative kernel configuration with GCC 6 shows
that 2.3KB worth of code can be wasted just on that!
