4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andy Lutomirski luto@kernel.org
commit e872045bfd9c465a8555bab4b8567d56a4d2d3bb upstream.
The old code restored all the registers with movq instead of pop.
In theory, this was done because some CPUs have higher movq throughput, but any gain there would be tiny and is almost certainly outweighed by the higher text size.
This saves 96 bytes of text.
