[PATCH V2 3/6] x86_32/sysenter: switch to the task stack without emptying the entry stack

[Lai Jiangshan]

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Like the way x86_64 uses the "old" stack, we can save the entry stack
pointer to a register and switch to the task stack.  So that we have
space on the "old" stack to save more things or scratch registers.
