x86: unify sys_iopl

The 32 and 64-bit versions of sys_iopl were needlessly different:
 - The 32-bit version ignored its function argument and directly
   fetched the parameter from struct regs, presumably code dating
   from the neolithic era.
 - The 64-bit version never called set_iopl_mask().  Usually this
   is a no-op for 64-bit, but it is also a pvop, which meant that
   that iopl never worked for 64-bit guests under Xen.
 - Both versions use the archaic style of getting pt_regs passed
   to them.  We can get the current pt_regs with task_pt_regs, which
   avoids worrying about the fine details of stack layout.

We can use the body of the 32-bit function with a few small
adjustments to the function definition.
