x86/entry/vdso32: When using int $0x80, use it directly

When neither sysenter32 nor syscall32 is available (on either
FRED-capable 64-bit hardware or old 32-bit hardware), there is no
reason to do a bunch of stack shuffling in __kernel_vsyscall.
Unfortunately, just overwriting the initial "push" instructions will
mess up the CFI annotations, so suffer the 3-byte NOP if not
applicable.

Similarly, inline the int $0x80 when doing inline system calls in the
vdso instead of calling __kernel_vsyscall.
