[PATCH v2 for 4.16 08/11] x86: Introduce sync_core_before_usermode

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>]

Introduce an architecture function that ensures the current CPU
issues a core serializing instruction before returning to usermode.

This is needed for the membarrier "sync_core" command.

Architectures defining the sync_core_before_usermode() static inline
need to select ARCH_HAS_SYNC_CORE_BEFORE_USERMODE.

Changes since v1:
- Fix prototype of sync_core_before_usermode in generic code (missing
  return type).
- Add linux/processor.h include to sched/core.c.
- Add ARCH_HAS_SYNC_CORE_BEFORE_USERMODE to init/Kconfig.
- Fix linux/processor.h ifdef to target
  CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYNC_CORE_BEFORE_USERMODE rather than
  ARCH_HAS_SYNC_CORE_BEFORE_USERMODE.
