Subject: [PATCH v2] entry: Update outdated comment in entry_common.h

From: Khalid Ali <khaliidcaliy@...il.com>

The comment above syscall_enter_from_user_mode() refers to
syscall_enter_from_user_mode_prepare(), which is no longer used. This can
mislead readers trying to follow the entry path.

Update the comment to reflect the current implementation by replacing
syscall_enter_from_user_mode_prepare() with enter_from_user_mode().
