Subject: x86,xen: Remove .fixup usage
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

Employ the fancy new EX_TYPE_IMM_REG to store -EFAULT in the return
register and use this to remove some Xen .fixup usage.

All callers of these functions only test for 0 return, so the actual
return value change from -1 to -EFAULT is immaterial.
