x86/entry/32: Add and check a stack canary for the SYSENTER stack
The first instruction of the SYSENTER entry runs on its own tiny stack. That stack can be used if a #DB or NMI is delivered before the SYSENTER prologue switches to a real stack. We have code in place to prevent us from overflowing the tiny stack. For added paranoia, add a canary to the stack and check it in do_debug() -- that way, if something goes wrong with the #DB logic, we'll eventually notice.
