Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix a bug introduced by "allocate full pt_regs" commit

If syscall_trace_enter_phase1 returns 0,
code restores %rax from pt_regs->ax, but should restore it from
pt_regs->orig_ax.

The bug crept in because LOAD_ARGS macro was very sublty different
from RESTORE_ARGS, it had only two callsites and only this one
was using that difference.

I folded this in to the original patch to avoid breaking bisection. I
put the missing -ARGOFFSET in and then removed it again in the
appropriate place later in the series.
