x86/entry: Rename SYSENTER_stack to CPU_ENTRY_AREA_entry_stack
 
If the kernel oopses while on the trampoline stack, it will print
"<SYSENTER>" even if SYSENTER is not involved.  That is rather confusing.

The "SYSENTER" stack is used for a lot more than SYSENTER now.  Give it a
better string to display in stack dumps, and rename the kernel code to
match.

Also move the 32-bit code over to the new naming even though it still uses
the entry stack only for SYSENTER.
