x86/entry/64: Use the TSS sp2 slot for SYSCALL/SYSRET scratch space
In the non-trampoline SYSCALL64 path, a percpu variable is used to
temporarily store the user RSP value.
Instead of a separate variable, use the otherwise unused sp2 slot in the
TSS. This will improve cache locality, as the sp1 slot is already used in
the same code to find the kernel stack. It will also simplify a future
change to make the non-trampoline path work in PTI mode.
