[PATCH 1/2] x86/entry: Optimize common_interrupt_return()

[Peter Zijlstra]

The code in common_interrupt_return() does a bunch of unconditional
work that is really only needed on PTI kernels. Specifically it
unconditionally copies the IRET frame back onto the entry stack,
swizzles onto the entry stack and does IRET from there.

However, without PTI we can simply IRET from whatever stack we're on.

PRE:
       140,118,538      cycles:k                                                      ( +-  0.01% )
       236,692,878      instructions:k            #    1.69  insn per cycle           ( +-  0.00% )

POST:
       140,026,608      cycles:k                                                      ( +-  0.01% )
       236,696,176      instructions:k            #    1.69  insn per cycle           ( +-  0.00% )

(this is with --repeat 100 and the run-to-run variance is bigger than
the difference shown)
