[RFC PATCH v3 13/20] x86/kexec: Clean up register usage in relocate_kernel()

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw at amazon.co.uk>
The memory encryption flag is passed in %r8 because that's where the
calling convention puts it. Instead of moving it to %r12 and then using
%r8 for other things, just leave it in %r8 and use other registers
instead.
