[RFC] ARM: kernel: irq: Simplify allocation of stack frame

On receiving IRQ exception in SVC mode, all the SVC mode registers are saved
onto the stack very early on.
The stack frame allocation code for IRQ entry during SVC mode (svc_entry) is
hard to read as 4-less is allocated initially only to be allocated later
implicity using the mov r3, [sp, #-4]! instruction. We make code easier to read
by allocating the 4 bytes on the stack frame in the beginning itself and remove
all instances where 4 bytes is adjusted.
