x86/entry/64: Don't use IST entry for #BP stack
There's nothing IST-worthy about #BP/int3. We don't allow kprobes in the small handful of places in the kernel that run at CPL0 with an invalid stack, and 32-bit kernels have used normal interrupt gates for #BP forever. Furthermore, we don't allow kprobes in places that have usergs while in kernel mode, so "paranoid" is also unnecessary.
