2a4d0c627f x86/selftests: Add clobbers for int80 on x86_64
Kernel erases R8..R11 registers prior returning to userspace
from int80:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/1/164

GCC can reuse these registers and doesn't expect them to change
during syscall invocation. I met this kind of bug in CRIU once
GCC 6.1 and CLANG stored local variables in those registers
and the kernel zerofied them during syscall:

  990d33f1a1

By that reason I suggest to add those registers to clobbers
in selftests.  Also, as noted by Andy - removed unneeded clobber
for flags in INT $0x80 inline asm.

0a15584d72 x86, selftests: Add single_step_syscall test
This is a very simple test that makes system calls with TF set.

This test currently fails when running the 32-bit build on a
64-bit kernel on an Intel CPU.  This bug will be fixed by the
next commit.
