x86/asm/entry: Clear EXTRA_REGS for all executable formats
On failure, sys_execve() does not clobber EXTRA_REGS, so we can just return to userpsace without saving/restoring them. On success, ELF_PLAT_INIT() in sys_execve() clears all these registers. On other executable formats: - binfmt_flat.c has similar FLAT_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and everyone else except sh) doesn't define it. - binfmt_elf_fdpic.c has ELF_FDPIC_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and most others) doesn't define it. - There are no such hooks in binfmt_aout.c et al. We inherit EXTRA_REGS from the prior executable. This inconsistency was not intended. This change removes SAVE/RESTORE_EXTRA_REGS in stub_execve, removes register clearing in ELF_PLAT_INIT(), and instead simply clears them on success in stub_execve. Run-tested.
