[PATCH v2 1/2] x86/entry/32: Change INT80 to be an interrupt gate

[Andy Lutomirski]

I want all of the syscall entries to run with interrupts off so that
I can efficiently run context tracking before enabling interrupts.

This will regress int $0x80 performance on 32-bit kernels by a
couple of cycles.  This shouldn't matter much -- int $0x80 is not a
fast path.

This effectively reverts 657c1eea0019 ("x86/entry/32: Fix
entry_INT80_32() to expect interrupts to be on") and fixes the issue
differently.
