x86/asm/entry/64: Always allocate a complete "struct pt_regs" on the kernel stack

The 64-bit entry code was using six stack slots less by not
saving/restoring registers which are callee-preserved according
to the C ABI, and was not allocating space for them.

Only when syscalls needed a complete "struct pt_regs" was
the complete area allocated and filled in.

As an additional twist, on interrupt entry a "slightly less
truncated pt_regs" trick is used, to make nested interrupt
stacks easier to unwind.

This proved to be a source of significant obfuscation and subtle
bugs. For example, 'stub_fork' had to pop the return address,
extend the struct, save registers, and push return address back.
Ugly. 'ia32_ptregs_common' pops return address and "returns" via
jmp insn, throwing a wrench into CPU return stack cache.

This patch changes the code to always allocate a complete
"struct pt_regs" on the kernel stack. The saving of registers
is still done lazily.

"Partial pt_regs" trick on interrupt stack is retained.

Macros which manipulate "struct pt_regs" on stack are reworked:

 - ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK allocates the structure.

 - SAVE_C_REGS saves to it those registers which are clobbered
   by C code.

 - SAVE_EXTRA_REGS saves to it all other registers.

 - Corresponding RESTORE_* and REMOVE_PT_GPREGS_FROM_STACK macros
   reverse it.

'ia32_ptregs_common', 'stub_fork' and friends lost their ugly dance
with the return pointer.

LOAD_ARGS32 in ia32entry.S now uses symbolic stack offsets
instead of magic numbers.

'error_entry' and 'save_paranoid' now use SAVE_C_REGS +
SAVE_EXTRA_REGS instead of having it open-coded yet again.

Patch was run-tested: 64-bit executables, 32-bit executables,
strace works.

Timing tests did not show measurable difference in 32-bit
and 64-bit syscalls.
