x86/boot/64: Put a real return address on the idle task stack
The frame at the end of each idle task stack has a zeroed return address. This is inconsistent with real task stacks, which have a real return address at that spot. This inconsistency can be confusing for stack unwinders. It also hides useful information about what asm code was involved in calling into C. Make it a real address by using the side effect of a call instruction to push the instruction pointer on the stack.
