x86/asm/entry/64: Get rid of the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK/RESTORE_TOP_OF_STACK macros

The FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK macro is only necessary because we don't save %r11
to pt_regs->r11 on SYSCALL64 fast path, but we want ptrace to see it populated.

Bite the bullet, add a single additional PUSH instruction, and remove
the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK macro.

The RESTORE_TOP_OF_STACK macro is already a nop. Remove it too.

On SandyBridge CPU, it does not get slower:
measured 54.22 ns per getpid syscall before and after last two
changes on defconfig kernel.
