Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/paravirt: convert simple paravirt functions to asm

All functions referenced via __PV_IS_CALLEE_SAVE() need to be assembler
functions, as those functions calls are hidden from gcc. In case the
kernel is compiled with "-fzero-call-used-regs" the compiler will
clobber caller-saved registers at the end of C functions, which will
result in unexpectedly zeroed registers at the call site of the
related paravirt functions.

Replace the C functions with DEFINE_PARAVIRT_ASM() constructs using
the same instructions as the related paravirt calls in the
PVOP_ALT_[V]CALLEE*() macros.
