[PATCH v2 3/3] x86: Get rid of TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING on x86_64

["Xin Li (Intel)" <xin@zytor.com>]

Because task_pt_regs() is now just an alias of thread_info.user_pt_regs,
and no matter whether FRED is enabled or not a user level event frame on
x86_64 is always pushed from top of current task kernel stack, i.e.,
'(unsigned long)task_stack_page(task) + THREAD_SIZE', there is no meaning
to keep TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING on x86_64, thus remove it.
