x86/asm/entry/64: Use PUSH instructions to build pt_regs on stack

With this change, on SYSCALL64 code path we are now populating
pt_regs->cs, pt_regs->ss and pt_regs->rcx unconditionally and
therefore don't need to do that in FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK.

We lose a number of large instructions there:

    text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   13298       0       0   13298    33f2 entry_64_before.o
   12978       0       0   12978    32b2 entry_64.o

What's more important, we convert two "MOVQ $imm,off(%rsp)" to
"PUSH $imm" (the ones which fill pt_regs->cs,ss).

Before this patch, placing them on fast path was slowing it down
by two cycles: this form of MOV is very large, 12 bytes, and
this probably reduces decode bandwidth to one instruction per cycle
when CPU sees them.

Therefore they were living in FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK instead (away
from fast path).

"PUSH $imm" is a small 2-byte instruction. Moving it to fast path does
not slow it down in my measurements.
