I'm not sure we really need to restore all the regs. I'll keep this for
now, but for an optimization, we can just restore the ones that mcount
mcount needs to.

Or do you expect kprobes to change any of theses?

Flags do not need to be restored. mcount calls give no guarantee that
flags will be persistent.
