x86/irq/tracing: Do not save callee-preserved registers around lockdep_sys_exit_thunk

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.
