x86/entry: Do not special-case clone(2) in compat entry

With the CPU renaming registers on its own, and all the overhead of the
syscall entry/exit, it is doubtful whether the compiled output of

	mov	%r8, %rax
	mov	%rcx, %r8
	mov	%rax, %rcx
	jmpq	sys_clone

is measurably slower than the hand-crafted version of

	xchg	%r8, %rcx

So get rid of this special case.
