x86/asm/entry/32: Simplify pushes of zeroed pt_regs->REGs
Use of a temporary R8 register here seems to be unnecessary.
"push %r8" is a two-byte insn (it needs REX prefix to specify R8), "push $0" is two-byte too. It seems just using the latter would be no worse.
Thus, code had an unnecessary "xorq %r8,%r8" insn. It probably costs nothing in execution time here since we are probably limited by store bandwidth at this point, but still.
Run-tested under QEMU: 32-bit calls still work:
