x86 vDSO: ia32 sysenter_return

This changes the 64-bit kernel's support for the 32-bit sysenter
instruction to use stored fields rather than constants for the
user-mode return address, as the 32-bit kernel does.  This adds a
sysenter_return field to struct thread_info, as 32-bit has.  There
is no observable effect from this yet.  It makes the assembly code
independent of the 32-bit vDSO mapping address, paving the way for
making the vDSO address vary as it does on the 32-bit kernel.

[ akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix on !CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION ]
