[PATCH 14/22] x86,vmx: Remove .fixup usage

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri Nov 05 2021 - 13:20:09 EST


In the vmread exceptin path, use the, thus far, unused output register
to push the @fault argument onto the stack. This, in turn, enables the
exception handler to not do pushes and only modify that register when
an exception does occur.
