x86/entry: Vastly simplify SYSENTER TF (single-step) handling

Due to a blatant design error, SYSENTER doesn't clear TF (single-step).

As a result, if a user does SYSENTER with TF set, we will single-step
through the kernel until something clears TF.  There is absolutely
nothing we can do to prevent this short of turning off SYSENTER [1].

Simplify the handling considerably with two changes:

  1. We already sanitize EFLAGS in SYSENTER to clear NT and AC.  We can
     add TF to that list of flags to sanitize with no overhead whatsoever.

  2. Teach do_debug() to ignore single-step traps in the SYSENTER prologue.

That's all we need to do.

Don't get too excited -- our handling is still buggy on 32-bit
kernels.  There's nothing wrong with the SYSENTER code itself, but
the #DB prologue has a clever fixup for traps on the very first
instruction of entry_SYSENTER_32, and the fixup doesn't work quite
correctly.  The next two patches will fix that.

[1] We could probably prevent it by forcing BTF on at all times and
    making sure we clear TF before any branches in the SYSENTER
    code.  Needless to say, this is a bad idea.
