[PATCH for 4.16 v3 07/11] x86: Implement sync_core_before_usermode

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

Ensure that a core serializing instruction is issued before returning to
user-mode. x86 implements return to user-space through sysexit, sysrel,
and sysretq, which are not core serializing.

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.
- Move empty static inline in processor.h to generic patch.

Changes since v2:
- Introduce arch/x86/include/asm/sync_core.h
- Don't sync_core when KPTI is enabled, and when invoked from irq and nmi
  context.
- Note: v2 was reviewed by Thomas Gleixner, but changes were introduced
  since.
