x86/entry/64: Fix unwind hints in register clearing code

The PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS macro zeroes each register immediately after
pushing it.  If an NMI or exception hits after a register is cleared,
but before the UNWIND_HINT_REGS annotation, the ORC unwinder will
wrongly think the previous value of the register was zero.  This can
confuse the unwinding process and cause it to exit early.

Because ORC is simpler than DWARF, there are a limited number of unwind
annotation states, so it's not possible to add an individual unwind hint
after each push/clear combination.  Instead, the register clearing
instructions need to be consolidated and moved to after the
UNWIND_HINT_REGS annotation.

Fixes: 3f01daec
