Subject: [PATCH] x86/asm/entry: fix stack return address retrieval in thunk

With CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER enabled, the thunk can pass a bad return
address value to the called function.  '9*8(%rsp)' actually gets the
frame pointer, not the return address.

The only users of the 'put_ret_addr_in_rdi' option are some functions
which trace the enabling and disabling of interrupts, so this bug can
result in bad debug/tracing information.
