Since rustc doesn't do the assembly parsing itself, it is unable
to detect when inline assembly ends with an instruction prefix,
which doesn't make sense since it would apply to instructions from
the compiler. This fixes#82314 by mentioning that x86 instruction
prefixes must not be used in inline assembly.

- You cannot assume that an `asm!` block will appear exactly once in the output binary. The compiler is allowed to instantiate multiple copies of the `asm!` block, for example when the function containing it is inlined in multiple places.

- On x86, inline assembly must not end with an instruction prefix (such as `LOCK`) that would apply to instructions generated by the compiler.

- The compiler is currently unable to detect this due to the way inline assembly is compiled.
