Subject: [PATCH 03/11] 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 error_entry() itself is also
a function call, the switching has to handle the return address of it
together, which causes the work complicated and tangly.

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