Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] KVM: selftests: Remove unnecessary register shuffling
 in fix_hypercall_test

Use input constraints to load RAX and RBX when testing that KVM correctly
does/doesn't patch the "wrong" hypercall.  There's no need to manually
load RAX and RBX, and no reason to clobber them either (KVM is not
supposed to modify anything other than RAX).
