x86/asm/entry/64: Save R11 into pt_regs->flags on SYSCALL64 fastpath

Browse source 
Before this patch, R11 was saved in pt_regs->r11.

Which looks natural, but requires messy shuffling to/from iret
frame whenever ptrace or e.g. sys_iopl() wants to modify flags -
because that's how this register is used by SYSCALL/SYSRET.

This patch saves R11 in pt_regs->flags, and uses that value for
the SYSRET64 instruction. Shuffling is eliminated.

FIXUP/RESTORE_TOP_OF_STACK are simplified.

stub_iopl is no longer needed: pt_regs->flags needs no fixing up.

Testing shows that syscall fast path is ~54.3 ns before
and after the patch (on 2.7 GHz Sandy Bridge CPU).
