x86/entry: Unbreak 32bit fast syscall



Andy reported that the syscall treacing for 32bit fast syscall fails:

# ./tools/testing/selftests/x86/ptrace_syscall_32
...
[RUN] SYSEMU
[FAIL] Initial args are wrong (nr=224, args=10 11 12 13 14 4289172732)
...
[RUN] SYSCALL
[FAIL] Initial args are wrong (nr=29, args=0 0 0 0 0 4289172732)
 
The eason is that the conversion to generic entry code moved the retrieval
of the sixth argument (EBP) after the point where the syscall entry work
runs, i.e. ptrace, seccomp, audit...

Unbreak it by providing a split up version of syscall_enter_from_user_mode().

- syscall_enter_from_user_mode_prepare() establishes state and enables
  interrupts

- syscall_enter_from_user_mode_work() runs the entry work

Replace the call to syscall_enter_from_user_mode() in the 32bit fast
syscall C-entry with the split functions and stick the EBP retrieval
between them.

Fixes: 27d6b4d1 ("x86/entry: Use generic syscall entry function")
