Subject: [PATCH 0/4 v2] x86: entry_64.S: steps towards simpler iret frame handling

These changes make SYSENTER64 code path save flags and user's
stack pointer in pt_regs->flags and pt_regs->sp, where they belong.

As a result, we can drop stub_iopl() and thread_struct::usersp.

Usage of PER_CPU(old_rsp) is reduced to bare minimum.

FIXUP/RESTORE_TOP_OF_STACK macros are on diet too.

Changes since v1: on Ingo's request, split into 4 patches intead of 2.
