x86/entry/64/compat: Preserve r8-r11 in int $0x80

32-bit user code that uses int $80 doesn't care about r8-r11. There is,
however, some 64-bit user code that intentionally uses int $0x80 to invoke
32-bit system calls. From what I've seen, basically all such code assumes
that r8-r15 are all preserved, but the kernel clobbers r8-r11. Since I
doubt that there's any code that depends on int $0x80 zeroing r8-r11,
change the kernel to preserve them.

I suspect that very little user code is broken by the old clobber, since
r8-r11 are only rarely allocated by gcc, and they're clobbered by function
calls, so they only way we'd see a problem is if the same function that
invokes int $0x80 also spills something important to one of these
registers.

The current behavior seems to date back to the historical commit
"[PATCH] x86-64 merge for 2.6.4". Before that, all regs were
preserved. I can't find any explanation of why this change was made.

Update the test_syscall_vdso_32 testcase as well to verify the new
behavior, and it strengthens the test to make sure that the kernel doesn't
accidentally permute r8..r15.

x86/asm/entry/32, selftests: Add 'test_syscall_vdso' test

This new test checks that all x86 registers are preserved across
32-bit syscalls. It tests syscalls through VDSO (if available)
and through INT 0x80, normally and under ptrace.

If kernel is a 64-bit one, high registers (r8..r15) are poisoned
before the syscall is called and are checked afterwards.

They must be either preserved, or cleared to zero (but r11 is
special); r12..15 must be preserved for INT 0x80.

EFLAGS is checked for changes too, but change there is not
considered to be a bug (paravirt kernels do not preserve
arithmetic flags).

Run-tested on 64-bit kernel:

$ ./test_syscall_vdso_32
[RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via VDSO
[OK] Arguments are preserved across syscall
[NOTE] R11 has changed:0000000000200ed7 - assuming clobbered by
SYSRET insn [OK] R8..R15 did not leak kernel data
[RUN] Executing 6-argument 32-bit syscall via INT 80
[OK] Arguments are preserved across syscall
[OK] R8..R15 did not leak kernel data
[RUN] Running tests under ptrace

On 32-bit paravirt kernel:

$ ./test_syscall_vdso_32
[NOTE] Not a 64-bit kernel, won't test R8..R15 leaks
