x86/entry: Convert INT 0x80 emulation to IDTENTRY
There is no real reason to have a separate ASM entry point implementation for the legacy INT 0x80 syscall emulation on 64-bit. IDTENTRY provides all the functionality needed with the only difference that it does not: - save the syscall number (AX) into pt_regs::orig_ax - set pt_regs::ax to -ENOSYS Both can be done safely in the C code of an IDTENTRY before invoking any of the syscall related functions which depend on this convention. Aside of ASM code reduction this prepares for detecting and handling a local APIC injected vector 0x80.
