Subject: [PATCH V2 13/41] x86/entry: Switch the stack after error_entry() returns

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...ux.alibaba.com>

error_entry() calls sync_regs() to settle/copy the pt_regs and switches
the stack directly after sync_regs().  But because error_entry() is also
called from entry, the switching has to handle the return address together,
which causes the behavior tangly.

Switching to the stack after error_entry() makes the code simpler and
intuitive.
