xtensa: fix fast_syscall_spill_registers
The original implementation could clobber registers under certain conditions. The Xtensa processor architecture uses windowed registers and the original implementation was using a4 as a temporary register, which under certain conditions could be register a0 of the oldest window frame, and didn't always restore the content correctly. By moving the _spill_registers routine inside the fast system call, it frees up one more register (the return address is not required anymore) for the spill routine.
