x86/hyperv: Use any general-purpose register when saving %cr2 and %cr8

hv_hvcrash_ctxt_save() in arch/x86/hyperv/hv_crash.c currently saves %cr2
and %cr8 using %eax ("=a"). This unnecessarily forces a specific register.
Update the inline assembly to use a general-purpose register ("=r") for
both %cr2 and %cr8. This makes the code more flexible for the compiler
while producing the same saved context contents.

No functional changes.
