Subject[PATCH 2/5] x86/entry: avoid calling into sync_regs() when entering from userspace
Date
7f2590a110b8("x86/entry/64: Use a per-CPU trampoline stack for IDT entries")
made a change that when any exception happens on userspace, the
entry code will save the pt_regs on the sp0 stack, and then copy it
to the thread stack via sync_regs() and switch to thread stack
afterward.

This is hot path, such overhead should be avoided. This patch
borrows the way how interrupt_entry handles it.
