x86-64: make compat_start_thread() match start_thread()
For no real good reason, compat_start_thread() was embedded inline in
<asm/elf.h> whereas the native start_thread() lives in process_*.c.
Move compat_start_thread() to process_64.c, remove gratuitious
differences, and fix a few items which mostly look like bit rot.
In particular, compat_start_thread() didn't do free_thread_xstate(),
which means it was hanging on to the xstate store area even when it
was not needed. It was also not setting old_rsp, but it looks like
that generally shouldn't matter for a 32-bit process.
Note: compat_start_thread *has* to be a macro, since it is tested with
start_thread_ia32() as the out of line function name.
