rseq: Rework the TIF_NOTIFY handler
Replace the whole logic with a new implementation, which is shared with signal delivery and the upcoming exit fast path. Contrary to the original implementation, this ignores invocations from KVM/IO-uring, which invoke resume_user_mode_work() with the @regs argument set to NULL. The original implementation updated the CPU/Node/MM CID fields, but that was just a side effect, which was addressing the problem that this invocation cleared TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, which in turn could cause an update on return to user space to be lost. This problem has been addressed differently, so that it's not longer required to do that update before entering the guest. That might be considered a user visible change, when the hosts thread TLS memory is mapped into the guest, but as this was never intentionally supported, this abuse of kernel internal implementation details is not considered an ABI break.
