entry: Rename arch_check_user_regs() to arch_enter_from_user_mode()
arch_check_user_regs() is used at the moment to verify that struct pt_regs
contains valid values when entering the kernel from userspace. s390 needs
a place in the generic entry code to modify a cpu data structure when
switching from userspace to kernel mode. As arch_check_user_regs() is
exactly this, rename it to arch_enter_from_user_mode().

the NMI codepath doesn't call this function. s390 needs a place in the
