x86/entry/64: Initialize the top of the IRQ stack before switching stacks
The OOPS unwinder wants the word at the top of the IRQ stack to point back to the previous stack at all times when the IRQ stack is in use. There's currently a one-instruction window in ENTER_IRQ_STACK during which this isn't the case. Fix it by writing the old RSP to the top of the IRQ stack before jumping. This currently writes the pointer to the stack twice, which is a bit ugly. We could get rid of this by replacing irq_stack_ptr with irq_stack_ptr_minus_eight (better name welcome). OTOH, there may be all kinds of odd microarchitectural considerations in play that affect performance by a few cycles here.
