x86/asm/entry/32: Remove unnecessary optimization in stub32_clone

Really swap arguments #4 and #5 in stub32_clone instead of
"optimizing" it into a move.

Yes, tls_val is currently unused. Yes, on some CPUs XCHG is a
little bit more expensive than MOV. But a cycle or two on an
expensive syscall like clone() is way below noise floor, and
this optimization is simply not worth the obfuscation of logic.

[ There's also ongoing work on the clone() ABI by Josh Triplett
  that will depend on this change later on. ]
