x86/entry/32: Add an ASM_CLAC to entry_SYSENTER_32

Both before and after 5f310f739b4c ("x86/entry/32: Re-implement
SYSENTER using the new C path"), we relied on a uaccess very early
in the SYSENTER path to clear AC. After that change, though, we can
potentially make it all the way into C code with AC set, which
enlarges the attack surface for SMAP bypass by doing SYSENTER with
AC set.

Strengthen the SMAP protection by addding the missing ASM_CLAC right
at the beginning.
