x86/elf: Use savesegment() for segment register reads in ELF core dump
ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS() currently reads %ds, %es, %fs, and %gs using
inline assembly and manual zero-extension. This results in redundant
instructions like `mov %eax,%eax`.
Replace the inline assembly with the `savesegment()` helper, which
automatically zero-extends the value to the full register width,
eliminating unnecessary instructions.
For example, the %ds load sequence changes from:
d03: 8c d8 mov %ds,%eax
d05: 89 c0 mov %eax,%eax
d07: 48 89 84 24 38 01 00 mov %rax,0x138(%rsp)
d0e: 00
to:
ce8: 8c d8 mov %ds,%eax
cea: 48 89 84 24 38 01 00 mov %rax,0x138(%rsp)
cf1: 00
thus eliminating the unnecessary zero-extending `mov %eax,%eax`.
No functional change intended.
