x86/asm/entry/64: Save user RSP in pt_regs->sp on SYSCALL64 fastpath



Prepare for the removal of 'usersp', by simplifying PER_CPU(old_rsp) usage:

  - use it only as temp storage

  - store the userspace stack pointer immediately in pt_regs->sp
    on syscall entry, instead of using it later, on syscall exit.

  - change C code to use pt_regs->sp only, instead of PER_CPU(old_rsp)
    and task->thread.usersp.

FIXUP/RESTORE_TOP_OF_STACK are simplified as well.
