Subject: x86/entry: Move SYSENTER_stack to the beginning of struct tss_struct

From: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]>

commit 1a935bc3d4ea61556461a9e92a68ca3556232efd upstream.

SYSENTER_stack should have reliable overflow detection, which means that it needs to be at the bottom of a page, not the top. Move it to the beginning of struct tss_struct and page-align it.

Also add an assertion to make sure that the fixed hardware TSS doesn't cross a page boundary.
