x86/entry/64: Fix fast-path syscall return register state
I was fishing RIP (i.e. RCX) out of pt_regs->cx and RFLAGS (i.e.
R11) out of pt_regs->r11. While it usually worked (pt_regs
started out with CX == IP and R11 == FLAGS), it was very
fragile. In particular, it broke sys_iopl() because sys_iopl()
forgot to mark itself as using ptregs.
Undo that part of the syscall rework. There was no compelling
reason to do it this way. While I'm at it, load RCX and R11
before the other regs to be a little friendlier to the CPU, as
they will be the first of the reloaded registers to be used.
