[PATCH 3/3] x86_64, entry: Create IRET-compatible stack frame at syscall entry

[Alexander van Heukelum]

Create an IRET-compatible top of stack at syscall entry and use this
information to return to user mode in the sysret path. This removes
the need for the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK and RESTORE_TOP_OF_STACK macros.
