From: Lai Jiangshan <la...@linux.alibaba.com>
Like the way x86_64 uses the entry stack when switching to the task stack,
entry_SYSENTER_32 can also save the entry stack pointer to a register and
then switch to the task stack. So that it doesn't need to empty the entry
stack by poping contents to registers and it has more space on the entry
stack to save stuffs or scratch registers.
It is a preparation for next patches which need to save user %fs in the
entry stack before restoring kernel %fs and loading the task stack for
stack switching.
