x86/hyperv: Save segment registers directly to memory in hv_hvcrash_ctxt_save()
hv_hvcrash_ctxt_save() in arch/x86/hyperv/hv_crash.c currently saves
segment registers via a general-purpose register (%eax). Update the
code to save segment registers (cs, ss, ds, es, fs, gs) directly to
the crash context memory using movw. This avoids unnecessary use of
a general-purpose register, making the code simpler and more efficient.
The size of the corresponding object file improves as follows:
text data bss dec hex filename
4167 176 200 4543 11bf hv_crash-old.o
4151 176 200 4527 11af hv_crash-new.o
No functional change occurs to the saved context contents; this is
purely a code-quality improvement.
