Update gate-descriptor initialization

Browse Source 
The initialization of gate descriptors was changed from using
set_intr_gate_ist() to idt_setup_from_table, which initalizes the
struct idt_data def_idts[] array.
Commit: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/8/25/732

Update the entry point definition to contain the new read_cr2 attribute
Commit: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/4/656

Update ENTRY and END macro to the new SYM_CODE_START & SYM_CODE_END
Commit: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/11/344

Update the description of the code passages accordingly.

All interrupt-gate descriptors which switch to a new stack with the `IST` are initialized with the `set_intr_gate_ist` function. For example:
All interrupt-gate descriptors, which switch to a new stack with the `IST`, are initialized within the `idt_setup_from_table` function. That function initializes every gate descriptor within the `struct idt_data def_idts[]` array.
For example:
```C
set_intr_gate_ist(X86_TRAP_NMI, &nmi, NMI_STACK);
...
...
...
set_intr_gate_ist(X86_TRAP_DF, &double_fault, DOUBLEFAULT_STACK);
static const __initconst struct idt_data def_idts[] = {
...
INTG(X86_TRAP_NMI, nmi),
...
INTG(X86_TRAP_DF, double_fault),
```
where `&nmi` and `&double_fault` are addresses of the entries to the given interrupt handlers:
where `nmi` and `double_fault` are entry points created at [arch/x86/kernel/entry\_64.S](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S):
```assembly
idtentry double_fault do_double_fault has_error_code=1 paranoid=2 read_cr2=1
...
...
...
SYM_CODE_START(nmi)
...
...
...
SYM_CODE_END(nmi)
```
for the the given interrupt handlers declared at [arch/x86/include/asm/traps.h](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/x86/include/asm/traps.h):
```C
asmlinkage void nmi(void);
asmlinkage void double_fault(void);
```
defined in the [arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/16f73eb02d7e1765ccab3d2018e0bd98eb93d973/arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S)
```assembly
idtentry double_fault do_double_fault has_error_code=1 paranoid=2
...
...
...
ENTRY(nmi)
...
...
...
END(nmi)
```
When an interrupt or an exception occurs, the new `ss` selector is forced to `NULL` and the `ss` selector’s `rpl` field is set to the new `cpl`. The old `ss`, `rsp`, register flags, `cs`, `rip` are pushed onto the new stack. In 64-bit mode, the size of interrupt stack-frame pushes is fixed at 8-bytes, so that we will get the following stack:
```
