x86: clean up switch_to()

Make the code more readable and more hackable:

 - use symbolic asm parameters
 - use readable indentation
 - add comments that explains the details

No code changed:

kernel/sched.o:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  28626	    684	   2640	  31950	   7cce	sched.o.before
  28626	    684	   2640	  31950	   7cce	sched.o.after

md5:
   2823d406c18b781975cdb2e7cfea0059  sched.o.before.asm
   2823d406c18b781975cdb2e7cfea0059  sched.o.after.asm
