Subject: [PATCH v3 8/7] TESTING_ONLY x86/entry: reduce static footprint of idtentry

Play a little trick in the generic PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS macro
to insert the GP registers "above" the original return address.
This allows us to (re-)insert the macro in error_entry() and
paranoid_entry() and to remove it from the idtentry macro. This
reduces the static footprint significantly.

NOTE: It still needs to be evaluated whether the reduced static
footprint at the cost of code readability is really needed here.
