arm64: factor work_pending state machine to C
Currently ret_fast_syscall, work_pending, and ret_to_user form an ad-hoc state machine that can be difficult to reason about due to duplicated code and a large number of branch targets. This patch factors the common logic out into the existing do_notify_resume function, converting the code to C in the process, making the code more legible. This patch tries to closely mirror the existing behaviour while using the usual C control flow primitives. As local_irq_{disable,enable} may be instrumented, we balance exception entry (where we will almost most likely enable IRQs) with a call to trace_hardirqs_on just before the return to userspace.
