x86/asm/entry/32: Do not use R9 in SYSCALL32 entry point

SYSENTER and SYSCALL 32-bit entry points differ in handling of
arg2 and arg6.

SYSENTER:
* ecx arg2
* ebp user stack
* 0(%ebp) arg6

SYSCALL:
* ebp arg2
* esp user stack
* 0(%esp) arg6

Sysenter code loads 0(%ebp) to %ebp right away.
(This destroys %ebp. It means we do not preserve it on return.
It's not causing problems since userspace VDSO code does not
depend on it, and SYSENTER insn can't be sanely used outside of
VDSO).

Syscall code loads 0(%ebp) to %r9. This allows to eliminate one
MOV insn (r9 is a register where arg6 should be for 64-bit ABI),
but on audit/ptrace code paths this requires juggling of r9 and
ebp: (1) ptrace expects arg6 to be in pt_regs->bp;
(2) r9 is callee-clobbered register and needs to be
saved/restored around calls to C functions.

This patch changes syscall code to load 0(%ebp) to %ebp, making
it more similar to sysenter code. It's a bit smaller:

text data bss dec hex filename
1407 0 0 1407 57f ia32entry.o.before
1391 0 0 1391 56f ia32entry.o

To preserve ABI compat, we restore ebp on exit.

Run-tested.
