x86/asm/entry/64: Clean up usage of TEST insns

By the nature of TEST operation, it is often possible
to test a narrower part of the operand:

    "testl $3, mem"  -> "testb $3, mem"

This results in shorter insns, because TEST insn has no
sign-entending byte-immediate forms unlike other ALU ops.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  11674	      0	      0	  11674	   2d9a	entry_64.o.before
  11658	      0	      0	  11658	   2d8a	entry_64.o

Changes in object code:

+	f6 84 24 88 00 00 00 03	         	testb  $0x3,0x88(%rsp)
