    x86/asm/entry/64: Change the THREAD_INFO() definition to not depend on KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET · b3fe8ba3

    This changes the THREAD_INFO() definition and all its callsites
    so that they do not count stack position from
    (top of stack - KERNEL_STACK_OFFSET), but from top of stack.
    
    Semi-mysterious expressions THREAD_INFO(%rsp,RIP) - "why RIP??"
    are now replaced by more logical THREAD_INFO(%rsp,SIZEOF_PTREGS)
    - "calculate thread_info's address using information that
    rsp is SIZEOF_PTREGS bytes below top of stack".
    
    While at it, replace "(off)-THREAD_SIZE(reg)" with equivalent
    "((off)-THREAD_SIZE)(reg)". The form without parentheses
    falsely looks like we invoke THREAD_SIZE() macro.
    
    Improve comment atop THREAD_INFO macro definition.
    
    This patch does not change generated code (verified by objdump).
