x86/entry: Do not special-case clone(2) in compat entry
With the CPU renaming registers on its own, and all the overhead of the syscall entry/exit, it is doubtful whether the compiled output of mov %r8, %rax mov %rcx, %r8 mov %rax, %rcx jmpq sys_clone is measurably slower than the hand-crafted version of xchg %r8, %rcx So get rid of this special case.
