x86/entry/64: Migrate the 64-bit syscall slow path to C



This is more complicated than the 32-bit and compat cases
because it preserves an asm fast path for the case where the
callee-saved regs aren't needed in pt_regs and no entry or exit
work needs to be done.

This appears to slow down fastpath syscalls by no more than one
cycle on my Skylake laptop.
