[PATCH v5 31/34] x86/fred: allow dynamic stack frame size

A FRED stack frame could contain different amount of information for
different event types, or perhaps even for different instances of the
same event type. Thus we need to eliminate the need of any advance
information of the stack frame size to allow dynamic stack frame size.

Implement it through:
1) add a new field user_pt_regs to thread_info, and initialize it
with a pointer to a virtual pt_regs structure at the top of a
thread stack.
2) save a pointer to the user-space pt_regs structure created by
fred_entrypoint_user() to user_pt_regs in fred_entry_from_user().
3) initialize the init_thread_info's user_pt_regs with a pointer to
a virtual pt_regs structure at the top of init stack.

This approach also works for IDT, thus we unify the code.

- * TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING is a number of unused bytes that we

- * 32-bit corner case. On x86_32, the hardware stack frame is
- * variable-length. Except for vm86 mode, struct pt_regs assumes a
- * maximum-length frame. If we enter from CPL 0, the top 8 bytes of
- * pt_regs don't actually exist. Ordinarily this doesn't matter, but it
- * does in at least one case:
- *
- * If we take an NMI early enough in SYSENTER, then we can end up with
- * pt_regs that extends above sp0. On the way out, in the espfix code,
- * we can read the saved SS value, but that value will be above sp0.
- * Without this offset, that can result in a page fault. (We are
- * careful that, in this case, the value we read doesn't matter.)
- *
- * In vm86 mode, the hardware frame is much longer still, so add 16
- * bytes to make room for the real-mode segments.
- *
- * x86-64 has a fixed-length stack frame, but it depends on whether
- * or not FRED is enabled. Future versions of FRED might make this
- * dynamic, but for now it is always 2 words longer.
