x86/nospec: Shorten RESET_CALL_DEPTH

RESET_CALL_DEPTH is a pretty fat monster and blows up UNTRAIN_RET to
20 bytes:

  19:       48 c7 c0 80 00 00 00    mov    $0x80,%rax
  20:       48 c1 e0 38             shl    $0x38,%rax
  24:       65 48 89 04 25 00 00 00 00      mov    %rax,%gs:0x0     29: R_X86_64_32S        pcpu_hot+0x10

Shrink it by 4 bytes:

  0:   31 c0				xor %eax,%eax
  2:   48 0f ba e8 3f			bts $0x3f,%rax
  7:   65 48 89 04 25 00 00 00 00	mov %rax,%gs:0x0

Shrink RESET_CALL_DEPTH_FROM_CALL by 5 bytes by only setting %al, the
other bits are shifted out (the same could be done for RESET_CALL_DEPTH,
but the XOR+BTS sequence has less dependencies due to the zeroing).
