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