[PATCH 2/2] x86/entry: Do enter_from_user_mode with IRQs off

[Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>]

Now that slow-path syscalls always enter C before enabling
interrupts, it's straightforward to do enter_from_user_mode before
enabling interrupts rather than doing it as part of entry tracing.

With this change, we should finally be able to retire
exception_enter.

This will also enable optimizations based on knowing that we never
change context tracking state with interrupts on.
