x86/stackframe/32: Provide consistent pt_regs Currently pt_regs on x86_32 has an oddity in that kernel regs (!user_mode(regs)) are short two entries (esp/ss). This means that any code trying to use them (typically: regs->sp) needs to jump through some unfortunate hoops. Change the entry code to fix this up and create a full pt_regs frame. This then simplifies various trampolines in ftrace and kprobes, the stack unwinder, ptrace, kdump and kgdb. Much thanks to Josh for help with the cleanups!
