x86/entry/32: Fix the end of the stack for newly forked tasks
Thanks to all the recent x86 entry code refactoring, most tasks' kernel
stacks start at the same offset right below their saved pt_regs,
regardless of which syscall was used to enter the kernel. That creates
a nice convention which makes it straightforward to identify the end of
the stack, which can be useful for the unwinder to verify the stack is
sane.
Calling schedule_tail() directly breaks that convention because its an
asmlinkage function so its argument has to be pushed on the stack. Add
a wrapper which creates a proper "end of stack" frame header before the
call.
