Subject: xtensa: fix kernel register spilling

commit 77d6273e79e3a86552fcf10cdd31a69b46ed2ce6 upstream.

call12 can't be safely used as the first call in the inline function,
because the compiler does not extend the stack frame of the bounding
function accordingly, which may result in corruption of local variables.

If a call needs to be done, do call8 first followed by call12.

For pure assembly code in _switch_to increase stack frame size of the
bounding function.
