x86/selftests: Add clobbers for int80 on x86_64

Kernel erases R8..R11 registers prior returning to userspace
from int80:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/1/164

GCC can reuse these registers and doesn't expect them to change
during syscall invocation. I met this kind of bug in CRIU once
GCC 6.1 and CLANG stored local variables in those registers
and the kernel zerofied them during syscall:

  https://github.com/xemul/criu/commit/990d33f1a1cdd17bca6c2eb059ab3be2564f7fa2



By that reason I suggest to add those registers to clobbers
in selftests.  Also, as noted by Andy - removed unneeded clobber
for flags in INT $0x80 inline asm.
