error_entry() calls fixup_bad_iret() before sync_regs() if it is a fault from a bad IRET, to copy pt_regs to the kernel stack. It switches to the kernel stack directly after sync_regs(). But error_entry() itself is also a function call, so it has to stash the address it is going to return to, in %r12 which is unnecessarily complicated. Move the stack switching after error_entry() and get rid of the need to handle the return address.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
