The code in the NMI handler to adjust the #VC handler IST stack is
needed in case an NMI hits when the #VC handler is still using its IST
stack.
But the check for this condition also needs to look if the regs->sp
value is trusted, meaning it was not set by user-space. Extend the
check to not use regs->sp when the NMI interrupted user-space code or
the SYSCALL gap.

Why not add those checks to on_vc_stack() directly? Because in it, you
can say:

on_vc_stack():

	/* user mode rSP is not trusted */
	if (user_mode())
		return false;

	/* ditto */
	if (ip_within_syscall_gap())
		return false;

	...
