x86-32: Avoid pipeline serialization in PTREGSCALL1 and 2
In the PTREGSCALL1 and 2 macros, we can trivially avoid an unnecessary pipeline serialization, so do so. In PTREGSCALLS3 this is much less clear-cut since we have to push a new value to the stack. Leave it alone for now assuming it is as good as it is going to be; may want to check on Atom or another in-order x86 to see if we can do better. Signed-off-by: H.
