x86/rwsem: Save and restore all callee-clobbered regs in 32-bit ____down_write()

____down_write() calls a function to handle the slow path when the lock
is contended. But in order to be able to call a C function, one has to
stash all callee-clobbered registers. The 32-bit path saves only %ecx
for a reason unknown to me. However, after

71c01930b42e ("locking/rwsem, x86: Clean up ____down_write()")

the useless dependency on edx was removed and this caused the following
splat:

This happens because gcc decided to stash the pointer to @sem in edx (it
is not used in the inline asm anymore, thus free):

movl %eax, %edx # sem, sem

lock; xadd %ecx,(%eax) # tmp91, sem
test ...

call call_rwsem_down_write_failed

mov %eax,0x14(%edx)

*before* the slow path happens and if we hit it on 32-bit, it can
clobber edx and we're staring at garbage value at deref time.

The simple fix is to save/restore edx too, around the slow path. We
don't need to stash eax because it is used in the slow path as the @sem
arg.
