x86/nospec: Shorten RESET_CALL_DEPTH
RESET_CALL_DEPTH is a pretty fat monster and blows up UNTRAIN_RET to
20 bytes:
19: 48 c7 c0 80 00 00 00 mov $0x80,%rax
20: 48 c1 e0 38 shl $0x38,%rax
24: 65 48 89 04 25 00 00 00 00 mov %rax,%gs:0x0 29: R_X86_64_32S pcpu_hot+0x10
Shrink it by 4 bytes:
0: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
2: 48 0f ba e8 3f bts $0x3f,%rax
7: 65 48 89 04 25 00 00 00 00 mov %rax,%gs:0x0
Shrink RESET_CALL_DEPTH_FROM_CALL by 5 bytes by only setting %al, the
other bits are shifted out (the same could be done for RESET_CALL_DEPTH,
but the XOR+BTS sequence has less dependencies due to the zeroing).
