[for-next][PATCH 4/9] ftrace/x86: Have save_mcount_regs store RIP in %rdi for first parameter

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Instead of having save_mcount_regs store the RIP in %rdx as a temp register
to place it in the proper location of the pt_regs on the stack. Use the
%rdi register as the temp register. This lets us remove the extra store
in the ftrace_caller_setup macro.
