In some extended code we generate comparisons between
the Addresses of some variables. This causes those
variables to be considered modified. Whereas in this
particular scenario the variables are just referenced.

gcc/ada/

	* sem_attr.adb: avoid marking a use of the Address attribute
	as a modification of its prefix.

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on master.
