arm64: factor out entry stack manipulation
In subsequent patches, we will detect stack overflow in our exception entry code, by verifying the SP after it has been decremented to make space for the exception regs. This verification code is small, and we can minimize its impact by placing it directly in the vectors. To avoid redundant modification of the SP, we also need to move the initial decrement of the SP into the vectors. As a preparatory step, this patch introduces kernel_ventry, which performs this decrement, and updates the entry code accordingly. Subsequent patches will fold SP verification into kernel_ventry. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
