x86/entry/64/compat: Set up full pt_regs for all compat syscalls
This is conceptually simpler. More importantly, it eliminates
the PTREGSCALL and execve stubs, which were not compatible with
the C ABI. This means that C code can call through the compat
syscall table.
The execve stubs are a bit subtle. They did two things: they
cleared some registers and they forced slow-path return.
Neither is necessary any more: elf_common_init clears the extra
registers and start_thread calls force_iret().
