[PATCH 11/11] x86/entry: Remove the branch in sync_regs()



From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In non-xenpv, the sp0 is the trampoline stack, and sync_regs() is
called on non-xenpv only since error_entry is not called on xenpv, so
the stack must be the trampoline stack or one of the IST stack and the
check in sync_regs() is unneeded.
