The T-bit manipulation for syscall error checking had the side effect of
spuriously returning ERESTART* errno values over EINTR. So, we simplify
the error checking a bit and leave the T-bit alone.

This follows the changes in commits:
7d6d637dac4f72c4279e
on powerpc. Adding in TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and cleaning up the syscall
tracing to be more generic. This is an incremental step to turning
on tracehook, as well as unifying more of the ptrace and signal code
across the 32/64 split.

The current kernel behaviour is to reenable interrupts unconditionally
when taking a page fault. This patch changes this to only enable them
if interrupts were previously enabled.
It also fixes a problem seen with this fix in place: the kernel previously
flushed the vsyscall page when handling a signal, which is not only
unncessary, but caused a possible sleep with interrupts disabled.

Add implementation of flush_icache_range() suitable for signal handler
and kprobes. Remove flush_cache_sigtramp() and change signal.c to use
flush_icache_range().

Presently with preempt enabled there's the possibility to be preempted
after the TIF_USEDFPU test and the register save, leading to bogus
state post-__switch_to(). Use an explicit preempt_disable()/enable()
pair around unlazy_fpu()/clear_fpu() to avoid this. Follows the x86
change.

This implements kernel-level atomic rollback built on top of gUSA,
as an alternative non-IRQ based atomicity method. This is generally
a faster method for platforms that are lacking the LL/SC pairs that
SH-4A and later use, and is only supportable on legacy cores.
