Subject: [PATCH 6/6] x86: entry_64.S: use more understandable constants

Constants such as SS+8 or SS+8-RIP are mysterious.
In most cases, SS+8 is just meant to be SIZEOF_PTREGS,
SS+8-RIP is RIP's offset in iret frame.

This patch changes some of these constants to be less mysterious.

No code changes (verified with objdump).
