Subject: [RFC][PATCH v2 13/21] x86/pti: Execute syscall functions on the kernel stack

During a syscall, the kernel is entered and it switches the stack
to the PTI stack which is mapped both in the kernel and in the
user page-table. When executing the syscall function, switch to
the kernel stack (which is mapped only in the kernel page-table)
so that no kernel data leak to the userland through the stack.
