[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/2] checkasm: x86: properly save rdx/edx in checked_call()

If the return value doesn't fit in a single register rdx/edx can in some
cases be used in addition to rax/eax.

Doesn't affect any of the existing checkasm tests but might be useful later.

Also comment the relevant code a bit better.
