x86/entry: Fix register corruption in compat syscall



A panic was reported in the init process on AMD:

The task's CX register got corrupted by commit 8c42819b ("x86/entry:
Use PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS for compat"), which overlooked the fact that
compat SYSCALL apparently stores the user's CX value in BP.

Before that commit, CX was saved from its stashed value in BP:

	pushq   %rbp                    /* pt_regs->cx (stashed in bp) */

But then it got changed to:

	pushq	%rcx			/* pt_regs->cx */

So the wrong value got saved and later restored back to the user.  Fix
it by pushing the correct value again (BP) for regs->cx.

Fixes: 8c42819b ("x86/entry: Use PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS for compat")
