selftests/x86/mov_ss_trap: Fix the SYSENTER test
commit 8caa016bfc129f2c925d52da43022171d1d1de91 upstream.
For reasons that I haven't quite fully diagnosed, running
mov_ss_trap_32 on a 32-bit kernel results in an infinite loop in
userspace. This appears to be because the hacky SYSENTER test
doesn't segfault as desired; instead it corrupts the program state
such that it infinite loops.
Fix it by explicitly clearing EBP before doing SYSENTER. This will
give a more reliable segfault.
