It's due to %edx isn't cleared to zero before wrmsr.

DO_OVERWRITE_RSB clobbers %eax and happend to cover the bug in certain case so
we didn't reproduce without bti=0.

Re-do actual code change. Also drop an unused label.

I just found this patch could be optimized a bit actually by only adding two instructions. Let me prepare a v3 patch, a few minutes.
