The orig_ist[] array is a shadow copy of the IST array in the TSS. The reason why it exists is that older kernels used two TSS variants with different pointers into the debug stack. orig_ist[] contains the real starting points.
There is no point anymore to do so because the same information can be retrieved using the base address of the cpu entry area mapping and the offsets of the various exception stacks. No functional change. Preparation for removing orig_ist.
