bpf, x64: Save bytes for DIV by reducing reg copies

Instead of unconditionally performing push/pop on %rax/%rdx in case of
division/modulo, we can save a few bytes in case of destination register
being either BPF r0 (%rax) or r3 (%rdx) since the result is written in
there anyway.

Also, we do not need to copy the source to %r11 unless the source is either
%rax, %rdx or an immediate.

For example, before the patch:

  22:   push   %rax
  23:   push   %rdx
  24:   mov    %rsi,%r11
  27:   xor    %edx,%edx
  29:   div    %r11
  2c:   mov    %rax,%r11
  2f:   pop    %rdx
  30:   pop    %rax
  31:   mov    %r11,%rax

After:

  22:   push   %rdx
  23:   xor    %edx,%edx
  25:   div    %rsi
  28:   pop    %rdx
