x86_64, entry: Treat regs->ax the same in fastpath and slowpath syscalls
For slowpath syscalls, we initialize regs->ax to -ENOSYS and stick
the syscall number into regs->orig_ax prior to any possible tracing
and syscall execution. This is user-visible ABI used by ptrace
syscall emulation and seccomp.
For fastpath syscalls, there's no good reason not to do the same
thing. It's even slightly simpler than what we're currently doing.
It probably has no measureable performance impact. It should have
no user-visible effect.
The purpose of this patch is to prepare for two-phase syscall
tracing, in which the first phase might modify the saved RAX without
leaving the fast path. This change is just subtle enough that I'm
keeping it separate.

sched, x86: Optimize the preempt_schedule() call
Remove the bloat of the C calling convention out of the
preempt_enable() sites by creating an ASM wrapper which allows us to
do an asm("call ___preempt_schedule") instead.

x86_64: Work around old GAS bug
GAS in binutils(2.16.91) could not parse parentheses within
macro parameters unless fully parenthesized, and this is a
workaround to make old gas work without generating below errors:
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:387: Error: too many positional arguments
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:389: Error: too many positional arguments

[ Jan argues that these old GAS versions are fragile - which is so, but lets give them a chance. ]

x86, asm: Fix CFI macro invocations to deal with shortcomings in gas
gas prior to (perhaps) 2.16.90 has problems with passing non-
parenthesized expressions containing spaces to macros. Spaces, however,
get inserted by cpp between any macro expanding to a number and a
subsequent + or -. For the +, current x86 gas then removes the space
again (future gas may not do so), but for the - the space gets retained
and is then considered a separator between macro arguments.
Fix the respective definitions for both the - and + cases, so that they
neither contain spaces nor make cpp insert any (the latter by adding
seemingly redundant parentheses).
