x86/xen/64: Rearrange the SYSCALL entries
Xen's raw SYSCALL entries are much less weird than native. Rather than fudging them to look like native entries, use the Xen-provided stack frame directly. This lets us eliminate entry_SYSCALL_64_after_swapgs and two uses of the SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK paravirt hook. The SYSENTER code would benefit from similar treatment. This makes one change to the native code path: the compat instruction that clears the high 32 bits of %rax is moved slightly later. I'd be surprised if this affects performance at all.
