Subject: [PATCH V6 7/8] x86/entry: Remove the branch in sync_regs()

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

In non-XENPV, the tss.sp0 is always the trampoline stack, and
sync_regs() is called on non-XENPV only since error_entry() is not
called on XENPV, so the stack must be the trampoline stack or one of
the IST stack if it is from user mode or bad iret.

Remove the check in sync_regs() and always copy the pt_regs from the
stack in the cpu entry area to the task stack.
