Andy Lutomirski 39b48e575e x86/entry: Split and inline prepare_exit_to_usermode()
GCC is unable to properly optimize functions that have a very
short likely case and a longer and register-heavier cold part --
it fails to sink all of the register saving and stack frame
setup code into the unlikely part.

Help it out with prepare_exit_to_usermode() by splitting it into
two parts and inline the hot part.

Saves 6-8 cycles for compat syscalls.
