This is an RFC patchset v2.
Xin Li reported sysret_rip test fails at:
assert(ctx->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_EFL] ==
ctx->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_R11]);
in a FRED system. Handle the FRED system scenario too. There are two
patches in this series. Comments welcome...
Note: This patchset is only tested for 'syscall' sets %rcx=%rip and
%r11=%rflags case. I don't have a FRED system to test it.
How to test this:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/x86
$ tools/testing/selftests/x86/sysret_rip_64

## Changelog v2:
- Use "+r"(rsp) as the right way to avoid redzone problems
per Andrew's comment (hpa).
