x86/asm/entry/32: Simplify the zeroing of pt_regs->r8..r11 in the int80 code path



32-bit syscall entry points do not save the complete pt_regs struct,
they leave some fields uninitialized. However, they must be
careful to not leak uninitialized data in pt_regs->r8..r11 to
ptrace users.

CLEAR_RREGS macro is used to zero these fields out when needed.

However, in the int80 code path this zeroing is unconditional.
This patch simplifies it by storing zeroes there right away,
when pt_regs is constructed on stack.

This uses shorter instructions:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1423       0       0    1423     58f ia32entry.o.before
   1407       0       0    1407     57f ia32entry.o

Compile-tested.
