x86/entry: Harden return-to-user

Make the CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY=y check that validates CS is a user segment
unconditional and move it nearer to IRET.

  PRE:
       140,026,608      cycles:k                                                      ( +-  0.01% )
       236,696,176      instructions:k            #    1.69  insn per cycle           ( +-  0.00% )

  POST:
       139,957,681      cycles:k                                                      ( +-  0.01% )
       236,681,819      instructions:k            #    1.69  insn per cycle           ( +-  0.00% )

(this is with --repeat 100 and the run-to-run variance is bigger than
the difference shown)
