x86_64: Fix off-by-one error setting up the Interrupt Stack Tables
The Interrupt Stack Table entries in a 64bit TSS are a 1 based data structure as far as hardware is concerned. As a result, the code setting up stacks in subarch_percpu_traps_init() fills in the wrong IST entries. The result is that the MCE handler executes on the stack set up for NMIs; the NMI handler executes on a stack set up for Double Faults, and Double Faults are executed with a stack pointer set to 0. Once the #DF handler starts to execute, it will usually take a page fault looking up the address at 0xfffffffffffffff8, which will cause a triple fault. If a guest has mapped a page in that location, then it will have some state overwritten, but as the #DF handler always calls panic(), this is not a problem the guest will have time to care about.
