entry: Provide [syscall_]enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack()

Randomizing the syscall stack can only happen after state is established
via enter_from_user_mode() or syscall_enter_from_user_mode(). The earlier
it happens the better.

Provide two new macros to consolidate that:

  - enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack()
	enter_from_user_mode();
	add_random_kstack_offset_irqsoff();

  - syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack()
	enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack();
	syscall_enter_from_user_mode_work();

to reduce boiler plate code.

Those are macros and not inline functions as the latter would limit the
stack randomization scope to the inline function itself.
