x86/entry/64: Introduce the PUSH_AND_CLEAN_REGS macro

Those instances where ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK is called just before
SAVE_AND_CLEAR_REGS can trivially be replaced by PUSH_AND_CLEAN_REGS.
This macro uses PUSH instead of MOV and should therefore be faster, at
least on newer CPUs.

xorq's are slower than xorl's on Silvermont/Knights Landing.
I propose using xorl instead.
