x86/paravirt: Convert simple paravirt functions to asm
All functions referenced via __PV_IS_CALLEE_SAVE() need to be assembler functions, as those functions calls are hidden from the compiler. In case the kernel is compiled with "-fzero-call-used-regs" the compiler will clobber caller-saved registers at the end of C functions, which will result in unexpectedly zeroed registers at the call site of the related paravirt functions. Replace the C functions with DEFINE_PARAVIRT_ASM() constructs using the same instructions as the related paravirt calls in the PVOP_ALT_[V]CALLEE*() macros. And since they're not C functions visible to the compiler anymore, latter won't do the callee-clobbered zeroing invoked by -fzero-call-used-regs and thus won't corrupt registers.
