x86/asm/entry/64: Get rid of the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK/RESTORE_TOP_OF_ST…
…ACK macros The FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK macro is only necessary because we don't save %r11 to pt_regs->r11 on SYSCALL64 fast path, but we want ptrace to see it populated. Bite the bullet, add a single additional PUSH instruction, and remove the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK macro. The RESTORE_TOP_OF_STACK macro is already a nop. Remove it too. On SandyBridge CPU, it does not get slower: measured 54.22 ns per getpid syscall before and after last two changes on defconfig kernel.
