x86/entry: Harden return-to-user

Make the CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY=y check that validates CS is a user segment
unconditional and move it nearer to IRET.

PRE:
140,026,608 cycles:k ( +- 0.01% )
236,696,176 instructions:k # 1.69 insn per cycle ( +- 0.00% )

POST:
139,957,681 cycles:k ( +- 0.01% )
236,681,819 instructions:k # 1.69 insn per cycle ( +- 0.00% )

(this is with --repeat 100 and the run-to-run variance is bigger than
the difference shown)
