[Mesa-stable] [PATCH] configure.ac: fix test for SSE4.1 assembler support

Change the __m128i variables to be volatile so gcc 4.9 won't optimise
all of them out with -O1 or greater.  The _mm_set1_epi32/pinsrd calls
still get optimised out but now there is at least one SSE4.1 instruction
generated via _mm_max_epu32/pmaxud.  When all of the sse4.1 instructions
got optimised out the configure test would incorrectly pass when the
compiler supported the intrinsics and the assembler didn't support the
instructions.
