Subject: x86/entry/64: Introduce the PUSH_AND_CLEAN_REGS macro

From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>

commit 3f01daecd545e818098d84fd1ad43e19a508d705 upstream.

Those instances where ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK is called just before
SAVE_AND_CLEAR_REGS can trivially be replaced by PUSH_AND_CLEAN_REGS.
This macro uses PUSH instead of MOV and should therefore be faster, at
least on newer CPUs.
