x86/asm/entry/64: Use local label to skip around sycall dispatch
Logically, we just want to jump around the following instruction
and its prologue/epilogue:
call *sys_call_table(,%rax,8)
if the syscall number is too big - we do not specifically target
the "int_ret_from_sys_call" label.
Use a local, numerical label for this jump, for more clarity.
This also makes the code smaller:
-ffffffff8187756b: 0f 87 0f 00 00 00 ja ffffffff81877580 <int_ret_from_sys_call>
+ffffffff8187756b: 77 0f ja ffffffff8187757c <int_ret_from_sys_call>
because jumps to global labels are never translated to short jump
instructions by GAS.
