arm64: syscall: exit userspace before unmasking exceptions
In el0_svc_common() we unmask exceptions before we call user_exit(), and so there's a window where an IRQ or debug exception can be taken while RCU is not watching. In do_debug_exception() we account for this in via debug_exception_{enter,exit}(), but in the el1_irq asm we do not and we call trace functions which rely on RCU before we have a guarantee that RCU is watching. Let's avoid this by having el0_svc_common() exit userspace before unmasking exceptions, matching what we do for all other EL0 entry paths. We can use user_exit_irqoff() to avoid the pointless save/restore of IRQ flags while we're sure exceptions are masked in DAIF. The workaround for Cortex-A76 erratum 1463225 may trigger a debug exception before this point, but the debug code invoked in this case is safe even when RCU is not watching.
