Break the false dependency on the uninitialized value of 'mask' in array_index_mask_nospec(). This potentially allows the CPU to rename the register, avoids reports from tools that can detect uninitialized inline asm arguments, and makes it explicit that this sequence wants the result of (0 - 0 - CARRY).
