[patch V4 05/15] entry: Provide infrastructure for work before exiting to guest mode

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Entering a guest is similar to exiting to user space. Pending work like
handling signals, rescheduling, task work etc. needs to be handled before
that.

Provide generic infrastructure to avoid duplication of the same handling
code all over the place.

The exit to guest mode handling is different from the exit to usermode
handling, e.g. vs. rseq and live patching, so a separate function is used.

The initial list of work items handled is:

TIF_SIGPENDING, TIF_NEED_RESCHED, TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME

Architecture specific TIF flags can be added via defines in the
architecture specific include files.

The calling convention is also different from the syscall/interrupt entry
functions as KVM invokes this from the outer vcpu_run() loop with
interrupts and preemption disabled. To prevent missing a pending work item
it invokes a check for pending TIF work from interrupt disabled code right
before exiting to guest mode. The lockdep, RCU and tracing state handling
is also done directly around the switch to and from guest mode.

V3: Reworked and simplified version adopted to recent X86 and KVM changes

V2: Moved KVM specific functions to kvm (Paolo)
Added lockdep assert (Andy)
Dropped live patching from enter guest mode work (Miroslav)
