Subject: [PATCH v6 31/33] x86/fred: BUG() when ERETU with %rsp not equal to that when the ring 3 event was just delivered

A FRED stack frame generated by a ring 3 event should never be messed up, and
the first thing we must make sure is that at the time an ERETU instruction is
executed, %rsp must have the same address as that when the user level event
was just delivered.

However we don't want to bother the normal code path of ERETU because it's on
the hotest code path, a good choice is to do this check when ERETU faults.
