This is an RFC patchset v2.

Xin Li reported sysret_rip test fails at:

        assert(ctx->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_EFL] ==
               ctx->uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_R11]);

in a FRED system. Handle the FRED system scenario too. There are two
patches in this series. Comments welcome...

Note: This patchset is only tested for 'syscall' sets %rcx=%rip and
%r11=%rflags case. I don't have a FRED system to test it.

How to test this:

  $ make -C tools/testing/selftests/x86
  $ tools/testing/selftests/x86/sysret_rip_64

## Changelog v2:

   - Use "+r"(rsp) as the right way to avoid redzone problems
     per Andrew's comment (hpa).

  selftests/x86: sysret_rip: Handle syscall in a FRED system
  selftests/x86: sysret_rip: Add more syscall tests with respect to `%rcx` and `%r11`
