Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/paravirt: add extra clobbers with ZERO_CALL_USED_REGS enabled

The ZERO_CALL_USED_REGS feature may zero out caller-saved registers
before returning.

In spurious_kernel_fault(), the "pte_offset_kernel()" call results in
this assembly code:

.Ltmp151:
        #APP
        # ALT: oldnstr
.Ltmp152:
.Ltmp153:
.Ltmp154:
        .section        .discard.retpoline_safe,"",@progbits
        .quad   .Ltmp154
        .text

        callq   *pv_ops+536(%rip)

.Ltmp155:
        .section        .parainstructions,"a",@progbits
        .p2align        3, 0x0
        .quad   .Ltmp153
        .byte   67
        .byte   .Ltmp155-.Ltmp153
        .short  1
        .text
.Ltmp156:
        # ALT: padding
        .zero   (-(((.Ltmp157-.Ltmp158)-(.Ltmp156-.Ltmp152))>0))*((.Ltmp157-.Ltmp158)-(.Ltmp156-.Ltmp152)),144
.Ltmp159:
        .section        .altinstructions,"a",@progbits
.Ltmp160:
        .long   .Ltmp152-.Ltmp160
.Ltmp161:
        .long   .Ltmp158-.Ltmp161
        .short  33040
        .byte   .Ltmp159-.Ltmp152
        .byte   .Ltmp157-.Ltmp158
        .text

        .section        .altinstr_replacement,"ax",@progbits
        # ALT: replacement 1
.Ltmp158:
        movq    %rdi, %rax
.Ltmp157:
        .text
        #NO_APP
.Ltmp162:
        testb   $-128, %dil

The "testb" here is using %dil, but the %rdi register was cleared before
returning from "callq *pv_ops+536(%rip)". Adding the proper constraints
results in the use of a different register:

        movq    %r11, %rdi

        # Similar to above.

        testb   $-128, %r11b
