x86/asm/entry: Simplify task_pt_regs() macro definition

Before this change, task_pt_regs() was using KSTK_TOP(),
and it was the only use of that macro. In turn, KSTK_TOP used
THREAD_SIZE_LONGS, and it was the only use of that macro too.

Fold these macros into task_pt_regs(). Tweak comment
about "- 8" - we now use a symbolic constant, not literal 8.
