[PATCH 2/6] x86/entry: Move SYSENTER's regs->sp and regs->flags fixups into C

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Fri Jun 26 2020 - 13:21:45 EST


The SYSENTER asm (32-bit and compat) contains fixups for regs->sp
and regs->flags. Move the fixups into C and fix some comments while
we're at it.

IMO this is a valid cleanup all by itself, and it also simplifies
the subsequent patch that will fix Xen PV SYSENTER.
