Subject: [PATCH 4.14 049/159] x86/xen/64, x86/entry/64: Clean up SP code in cpu_initialize_context()

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

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

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

commit f16b3da1dc936c0f8121741d0a1731bf242f2f56 upstream.

I'm removing thread_struct::sp0, and Xen's usage of it is slightly
dubious and unnecessary.  Use appropriate helpers instead.

While we're at at, reorder the code slightly to make it more obvious
what's going on.
