Subject: [PATCH 4.14 051/159] x86/entry/64: Remove all remaining direct thread_struct::sp0 reads

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>

commit 46f5a10a721ce8dce8cc8fe55279b49e1c6b3288 upstream.

The only remaining readers in context switch code or vm86(), and
they all just want to update TSS.sp0 to match the current task.
Replace them all with a new helper update_sp0().
