Subject: x86/entry/64: Push extra regs right away

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

(cherry picked from commit d1f7732009e0549eedf8ea1db948dc37be77fd46)

With the fast path removed there is no point in splitting the push of the
normal and the extra register set. Just push the extra regs right away.

[ tglx: Split out from 'x86/entry/64: Remove the SYSCALL64 fast path' ]
