x86/syscalls/64: Mark sys_iopl() as using ptregs

sys_iopl() both reads and writes pt_regs->flags.  Mark it as using ptregs.

This isn't strictly necessary, as pt_regs->flags is available
even in the fast path, but this is very lightweight now that we
have syscall qualifiers and it could avoid some pain down the
road.
