Since 4.17 registers r8-r11 are not clobbered/zeroed by a 64-bit kernel handling a 32-bit syscall and this behavior is enforced by the test_syscall_vdso testcase. See commit 8bb2610bc496 ("x86/entry/64/compat: Preserve r8-r11 in int $0x80").
Permit the old behavior in the testcase for kernels prior to 4.17.
