x86/entry: Do not special-case clone(2) in compat entry
With the CPU renaming registers on its own, and all the overhead of the
syscall entry/exit, it is doubtful whether the compiled output of
mov %r8, %rax
mov %rcx, %r8
mov %rax, %rcx
jmpq sys_clone
is measurably slower than the hand-crafted version of
xchg %r8, %rcx
So get rid of this special case.
