Commit 8bb2610bc496 ("x86/entry/64/compat: Preserve r8-r11 in int
$0x80") was busted. My original patch had a minor conflict with
some of the nospec changes. git apply is very clever and silently
accepted the patch by making the same changes to a different
function in the same file. There was obviously a huge offset, but
git apply for some reason doesn't feel any need to say so.

Move the changes to the correct function. Now the
test_syscall_vdso_32 selftests passes.

If anyone cares to observe the original problem, try applying the
patch at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d4c4d9985fbe64f8c9e19291886453914b48caee.1523975710.git.luto@xxxxxxxxxx/raw
to the kernel at 316d097c4cd4e7f2ef50c40cff2db266593c4ec4. git am and
git apply accept the patch without any complaints at all. patch -p1
at least prints out a message about the huge offset.
