[PATCH 3/3] x86: do not save callee-preserved registers around lockdep_sys_exit_thunk

[Denys Vlasenko]

Internally, lockdep_sys_exit_thunk saves callee-clobbered registers,
and calls a C function, lockdep_sys_exit. Thus, callee-preserved registers
won't be mangled, there is no need to save them.

Patch was run-tested.
