[PATCH v3 06/15] x86/entry: Add enter_from_user_mode and use it in syscalls

[Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>]

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.
