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.
