x86/entry/64: Allocate and enable the SYSENTER stack
This will simplify future changes that want scratch variables early in the SYSENTER handler -- they'll be able to spill registers to the stack. It also lets us get rid of a SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK user. This does not depend on CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y because we'll want the stack space even without IA32 emulation. As far as I can tell, the reason that this wasn't done from day 1 is that we use IST for #DB and #BP, which is IMO rather nasty and causes a lot more problems than it solves. But, since #DB uses IST, we don't actually need a real stack for SYSENTER (because SYSENTER with TF set will invoke #DB on the IST stack rather than the SYSENTER stack). I want to remove IST usage from these vectors some day, and this patch is a prerequisite for that as well.
