[PATCH v3] perf: fix kernel panic when parsing user space CS saved in pt_regs

ChangeLog V3: Keep rsp pointing to pt_regs before sysexit.

ChangeLog V2: Before sysexit, perf NMI might arrive. There is
still a race. Here we change rsp to keep it pointing
to pt_regs->orig_ax.
In addition, after sti, before sysexit, an irq might
arrives. That causes more chances for perf NMI to jump
in.

We hit a kernel panic when running perf to collect some performance data.
kenel is x86_64 and user space apps are 32bit.

Basically, ia32 uses sysenter to start system calls.

sysexit_from_sys_call=>trace_hardirqs_on_thunk. Before calling,
sysexit_from_sys_call already pops up pt_regs, then trace_hardirqs_on_thunk
would reuse pt_regs space. If perf NMI happens here, perf might use a bad pt_regs.

The patch fixes it by keeping rsp pointing to pt_regs.
