x86/asm/entry/64: Simplify optimistic SYSRET
Avoid redundant load of %r11 (it is already loaded a few instructions before). Also simplify %rsp restoration, instead of two steps: add $0x80, %rsp mov 0x18(%rsp), %rsp we can do a simplified single step to restore user-space RSP: mov 0x98(%rsp), %rsp and get the same result.
