Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86: save r11 into pt_regs->flags on SYSCALL64 fastpath

Before this patch, r11 was saved in pt_regs->r11.
Which looks natural, but requires messy shuffling to/from iret frame
whenever ptrace or e.g. iopl wants to modify flags - because
that's how this register is used by SYSCALL/SYSRET.

This patch saves r11 in pt_regs->flags,
and uses that value for SYSRET64 insn. Shuffling is eliminated.

stub_iopl is no longer needed: pt_regs->flags needs no fixing up.

Testing shows that syscall fast path is ~54.3 ns before
and after the patch (on 2.7 GHz Sandy Bridge CPU).
