x86/entry: Add enter_from_user_mode() and use it in syscalls
Changing the x86 context tracking hooks is dangerous because
there are no good checks that we track our context correctly.
Add a helper to check that we're actually in CONTEXT_USER when
we enter from user mode and wire it up for syscall entries.
Subsequent patches will wire this up for all non-NMI entries as
well. NMIs are their own special beast and cannot currently
switch overall context tracking state. Instead, they have their
own special RCU hooks.
This is a tiny speedup if !CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING (removes a
branch) and a tiny slowdown if CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACING (adds a
layer of indirection). Eventually, we should fix up the core
context tracking code to supply a function that does what we
want (and can be much simpler than user_exit), which will enable
us to get rid of the extra call.
