The LSE atomics implementation uses runtime patching to patch in calls to out of line non-LSE atomics implementations on cores that lack hardware support for LSE. To avoid paying the overhead cost of a function call even if no call ends up being made, the bl instruction is kept invisible to the compiler, and the out of line implementations preserve all registers, not just the ones that they are required to preserve as per the AAPCS64. However, commit fd045f6c ("arm64: add support for module PLTs") added support for routing branch instructions via veneers if the branch target offset exceeds the range of the ordinary relative branch instructions. Since this deals with jump and call instructions that are exposed to ELF relocations, the PLT code uses x16 to hold the address of the branch target when it performs an indirect branch-to-register, something which is explicitly allowed by the AAPCS64 (and ordinary compiler generated code does not expect register x16 or x17 to retain their values across a bl instruction). Since the lse runtime patched bl instructions don't adhere to the AAPCS64, they don't deal with this clobbering of registers x16 and x17. So add them to the clobber list of the asm() statements that perform the call instructions, and drop x16 and x17 from the list of registers that are callee saved in the out of line non-LSE implementations. In addition, since we have given these functions two scratch registers, they no longer need to stack/unstack temp registers.
