The comment here explains that the extra saved registers are clobbered
by _switch. However, looking at switch they are definitely saved, so I
am not sure why these wrappers are needed. This was noticed when
auditing the clone3 syscall path which works fine and does not have the
extra wrapper code.
The patch removes the wrapper code as a cleanup.

Nak.
This breaks stuff. More extensive testing resulted in instability.
There may be another way, but as for now this code that restores these
registers during return is basically clobbering them again.
l.lwz r12,PT_GPR12(r1)
l.lwz r14,PT_GPR14(r1)
l.lwz r16,PT_GPR16(r1)
l.lwz r18,PT_GPR18(r1)
l.lwz r20,PT_GPR20(r1)
l.lwz r22,PT_GPR22(r1)
l.lwz r24,PT_GPR24(r1)
l.lwz r26,PT_GPR26(r1)
l.lwz r28,PT_GPR28(r1)
l.j _syscall_return
l.nop
