x86/entry/64: Use 'xorl' for faster register clearing

On some x86 CPU microarchitectures using 'xorq' to clear general-purpose
registers is slower than 'xorl'. As 'xorl' is sufficient to clear all
64 bits of these registers due to zero-extension [*], switch the x86
64-bit entry code to use 'xorl'.

No change in functionality and no change in code size.

[*] According to Intel 64 and IA-32 Architecture Software Developer's
    Manual, section 3.4.1.1, the result of 32-bit operands are "zero-
    extended to a 64-bit result in the destination general-purpose
    register." The AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual Volume 3,
    Appendix B.1, describes the same behaviour.
