x86: um: vdso: Add '%rcx' and '%r11' to the syscall clobber list
[ Upstream commit 5541992e512de8c9133110809f767bd1b54ee10d ]
The 'syscall' instruction clobbers '%rcx' and '%r11', but they are not
listed in the inline Assembly that performs the syscall instruction.
No real bug is found. It wasn't buggy by luck because '%rcx' and '%r11'
are caller-saved registers, and not used in the functions, and the
functions are never inlined.
Add them to the clobber list for code correctness.
