Revert "x86/entry: Fix the end of the stack for newly forked tasks"

commit ebd57499 upstream.

Petr Mladek reported the following warning when loading the livepatch
sample module:

  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 3699 at arch/x86/kernel/stacktrace.c:132 save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable+0x133/0x1a0
  ...
  Call Trace:
   __schedule+0x273/0x820
   schedule+0x36/0x80
   kthreadd+0x305/0x310
   ? kthread_create_on_cpu+0x80/0x80
   ? icmp_echo.part.32+0x50/0x50
   ret_from_fork+0x2c/0x40

That warning means the end of the stack is no longer recognized as such
for newly forked tasks.  The problem was introduced with the following
commit:

  ff3f7e24 ("x86/entry: Fix the end of the stack for newly forked tasks")

... which was completely misguided.  It only partially fixed the
reported issue, and it introduced another bug in the process.  None of
the other entry code saves the frame pointer before calling into C code,
so it doesn't make sense for ret_from_fork to do so either.

Contrary to what I originally thought, the original issue wasn't related
to newly forked tasks.  It was actually related to ftrace.  When entry
code calls into a function which then calls into an ftrace handler, the
stack frame looks different than normal.

The original issue will be fixed in the unwinder, in a subsequent patch.
