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

Browse Source 
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.
