[PATCH] i386: Add a temporary to make put_user more type safe

In some code I am developing I had occasion to change the type of a
variable.  This made the value put_user was putting to user space wrong.
But the code continued to build cleanly without errors.

Introducing a temporary fixes this problem and at least with gcc-3.3.5 does
not cause gcc any problems with optimizing out the temporary.  gcc-4.x
using SSA internally ought to be even better at optimizing out temporaries,
so I don't expect a temporary to become a problem.  Especially because in
all correct cases the types on both sides of the assignment to the
temporary are the same.
