x86/asm/entry/64: Remove unused thread_struct::usersp

All manipulations of PER_CPU(old_rsp) in C code are removed:
it is not used on SYSRET return, so storing anything there is
pointless.

This also allows us to get rid of thread_struct::usersp,
which was needed only to set PER_CPU(old_rsp) for correct
return from fork/clone.

Tweak a few comments as well: we no longer have "partial stack frame",
ever.
