[PATCH v3] x86: Don't use asm statement for trunc/truncf

Compiler inlines trunc and truncf with SSE4.1.  But older versions of GCC
doesn't inline them with -Os:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121861

Don't use asm statement for trunc and truncf if compiler can inline them
with -Os.  It removes one register move with GCC 16:
