Subject: [PATCH V6 3/8] x86/entry: Move PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS out of error_entry()

From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@...group.com>

The macro idtentry calls error_entry() unconditionally even on XENPV.
But the code XENPV needs in error_entry() is PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS only.
And error_entry() also calls sync_regs() which has to deal with the
case of XENPV via an extra branch so that it doesn't copy the pt_regs.

And PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS in error_entry() makes the stack not return to
its original place when the function returns, which means it is not
possible to convert it to a C function.

Move PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS out of error_entry(), add a function to wrap
PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS and call it before error_entry().

The new function call adds two instructions (CALL and RET) for every
interrupt or exception.  It will allow for error_entry() to be not
called on XENPV which allows for sync_regs() to reduce a branch.  It
will also allow for error_entry() to be converted to C code that can
use inlined sync_regs() and save a function call again.
