x86/asm/entry/64: Disentangle error_entry/exit gsbase/ebx/usermode code
The error_entry/error_exit code to handle gsbase and whether we
return to user mdoe was a mess:
- error_sti was misnamed. In particular, it did not enable interrupts.
- Error handling for gs_change was hopelessly tangled the normal
usermode path. Separate it out. This saves a branch in normal
entries from kernel mode.
- The comments were bad.
Fix it up. As a nice side effect, there's now a code path that
happens on error entries from user mode. We'll use it soon.
