x86/entry/64: Fix stack return address retrieval in thunk
With CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER enabled, a thunk can pass a bad return address
value to the called function. '9*8(%rsp)' actually gets the frame
pointer, not the return address.
The only users of the 'put_ret_addr_in_rdi' option are two functions
which trace the enabling and disabling of interrupts, so this bug can
result in bad debug or tracing information with CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER or
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING.
Fix this by implementing the suggestion of Linus: explicitly push
the frame pointer all the time and constify the stack offsets that
way. This is both correct and easier to read.
