In "x86/Intel: restrict suffix derivation" I think I screwed up
slightly, bringing a piece of code out of sync with its comment, and
resulting in a suffix potentially being derived when one isn't needed.

Really we could go further and check whether _any_ register-only operand
in a template permits for multiple sizes, thus implying that operand
size can be derived from it. But that would involve looping over all
operands, when we'd like to keep the checking here quick.
