x86/asm: Don't use RBP as a temporary register in csum_partial_copy_generic()



Andrey Konovalov reported the following warning while fuzzing the kernel
with syzkaller:

  WARNING: kernel stack regs at ffff8800686869f8 in a.out:4933 has bad 'bp' value c3fc855a10167ec0

The unwinder dump revealed that RBP had a bad value when an interrupt
occurred in csum_partial_copy_generic().

That function saves RBP on the stack and then overwrites it, using it as
a scratch register.  That's problematic because it breaks stack traces
if an interrupt occurs in the middle of the function.

Replace the usage of RBP with another callee-saved register (R15) so
stack traces are no longer affected.
