x86/vm86: Use the normal pt_regs area for vm86
Change to use the normal pt_regs area to enter and exit vm86 mode. This is done by increasing the padding at the top of the stack to make room for the extra vm86 segment slots in the IRET frame. It then saves the 32-bit regs in the off-stack vm86 data, and copies in the vm86 regs. Exiting back to 32-bit mode does the reverse. This allows removing the hacks to jump directly into the exit asm code due to having to change the stack pointer. Returning normally from the vm86 syscall and the exception handlers allows things like ptrace and auditing to work properly.
