When entering the kernel from userland, use the per-task PTI stack
instead of the per-cpu trampoline stack. Like the trampoline stack,
the PTI stack is mapped both in the kernel and in the user page-table.
Using a per-task stack which is mapped into the kernel and the user
page-table instead of a per-cpu stack will allow executing more code
before switching to the kernel stack and to the kernel page-table.
Additional changes will be made to later to switch to the kernel stack
(which is only mapped in the kernel page-table).
