x86/entry/64: Clear registers for exceptions/interrupts, to reduce speculation attack surface

Clear the 'extra' registers on entering the 64-bit kernel for exceptions
and interrupts. The common registers are not cleared since they are
likely clobbered well before they can be exploited in a speculative
execution attack.
