x86/hyperv: Save segment registers directly to memory in hv_hvcrash_ctxt_save()

Browse Source 
hv_hvcrash_ctxt_save() in arch/x86/hyperv/hv_crash.c currently saves
segment registers via a general-purpose register (%eax). Update the
code to save segment registers (cs, ss, ds, es, fs, gs) directly to
the crash context memory using movw. This avoids unnecessary use of
a general-purpose register, making the code simpler and more efficient.

The size of the corresponding object file improves as follows:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   4167     176     200    4543    11bf hv_crash-old.o
   4151     176     200    4527    11af hv_crash-new.o

No functional change occurs to the saved context contents; this is
purely a code-quality improvement.
