[PATCH v2] x86: Use xorl %0,%0 in __get_user_asm

[Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@gmail.com>]

xorl %0,%0 is equivalent to xorq %0,%0 as both will zero the
entire register.  Use xorl %0,%0 for all operand sizes to avoid
REX prefix byte when legacy registers are used and to avoid size
prefix byte when 16bit registers are used.

Zeroing the full register is OK in this use case.  xorl %0,%0 also
breaks register dependency chains, avoiding potential partial
register stalls with 8 and 16bit operands.

The patch lowers the size of .fixup section by 20 bytes.

Changes since v1:
- Rewrite commit message.
