sched/x86: Rewrite the switch_to() code
Move the low-level context switch code to an out-of-line asm stub instead of
using complex inline asm. This allows constructing a new stack frame for the
child process to make it seamlessly flow to ret_from_fork without an extra
test and branch in __switch_to(). It also improves code generation for
__schedule() by using the C calling convention instead of clobbering all
registers.
