x86/asm/entry: Untangle 'ia32_sysenter_target' into two entry points:...


x86/asm/entry: Untangle 'ia32_sysenter_target' into two entry points: entry_SYSENTER_32 and entry_SYSENTER_compat

So the SYSENTER instruction is pretty quirky and it has different behavior
depending on bitness and CPU maker.

Yet we create a false sense of coherency by naming it 'ia32_sysenter_target'
in both of the cases.

Split the name into its two uses:

	ia32_sysenter_target (32)    -> entry_SYSENTER_32
	ia32_sysenter_target (64)    -> entry_SYSENTER_compat

As per the generic naming scheme for x86 system call entry points:

	entry_MNEMONIC_qualifier

where 'qualifier' is one of _32, _64 or _compat.
