x86/asm/entry: Clear EXTRA_REGS for all executable formats

On failure, sys_execve() does not clobber EXTRA_REGS, so we can
just return to userpsace without saving/restoring them.

On success, ELF_PLAT_INIT() in sys_execve() clears all these
registers.

On other executable formats:

  - binfmt_flat.c has similar FLAT_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and everyone
    else except sh) doesn't define it.

  - binfmt_elf_fdpic.c has ELF_FDPIC_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and most
    others) doesn't define it.

  - There are no such hooks in binfmt_aout.c et al. We inherit
    EXTRA_REGS from the prior executable.

This inconsistency was not intended.

This change removes SAVE/RESTORE_EXTRA_REGS in stub_execve,
removes register clearing in ELF_PLAT_INIT(),
and instead simply clears them on success in stub_execve.

Run-tested.
