x86,static_call: Fix __static_call_return0 for i386

Browse source 
Paolo reported that the instruction sequence that is used to replace:

    call __static_call_return0

namely:

    66 66 48 31 c0	data16 data16 xor %rax,%rax

decodes to something else on i386, namely:

    66 66 48		data16 dec %ax
    31 c0		xor    %eax,%eax

Which is a nonsensical sequence that happens to have the same outcome.
*However* an important distinction is that it consists of 2
instructions which is a problem when the thing needs to be overwriten
with a regular call instruction again.

As such, replace the instruction with something that decodes the same
on both i386 and x86_64.
