x86/paravirt: Use normal calling sequences for irq enable/disable
Bastian Blank reported a boot crash with stackprotector enabled, and debugged it back to edx register corruption. For historical reasons irq enable/disable/save/restore had special calling sequences to make them more efficient. With the more recent introduction of higher-level and more general optimisations this is no longer necessary so we can just use the normal PVOP_ macros. This fixes some residual bugs in the old implementations which left edx liable to inadvertent clobbering. Also, fix some bugs in __PVOP_VCALLEESAVE which were revealed by actual use.
