x86/entry: Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C

The current x86 entry and exit code, written in a mixture of assembly and
C code, is incomprehensible due to being open-coded in a lot of places
without coherent documentation.

It appears to work primary by luck and duct tape: i.e. obvious runtime
failures were fixed on-demand, without re-thinking the design.

Due to those reasons our confidence level in that code is low, and it is
very difficult to incrementally improve.

Add new code written in C, in preparation for simply deleting the old
entry code.

prepare_exit_to_usermode() is a new function that will handle all
slow path exits to user mode.  It is called with IRQs disabled
and it leaves us in a state in which it is safe to immediately
return to user mode.  IRQs must not be re-enabled at any point
after prepare_exit_to_usermode() returns and user mode is actually
entered. (We can, of course, fail to enter user mode and treat
that failure as a fresh entry to kernel mode.)

All callers of do_notify_resume() will be migrated to call
prepare_exit_to_usermode() instead; prepare_exit_to_usermode() needs
to do everything that do_notify_resume() does today, but it also
takes care of scheduling and context tracking.  Unlike
do_notify_resume(), it does not need to be called in a loop.

syscall_return_slowpath() is exactly what it sounds like: it will
be called on any syscall exit slow path. It will replace
syscall_trace_leave() and it calls prepare_exit_to_usermode() on the
way out.
