x86/entry: Avoid interrupt flag save and restore

Thanks to all the work that was done by Andy Lutomirski and others,
enter_from_user_mode() and prepare_exit_to_usermode() are now called only with
interrupts disabled.  Let's provide them a version of user_enter()/user_exit()
that skips saving and restoring the interrupt flag.

On an AMD-based machine I tested this patch on, with force-enabled
context tracking, the speed-up in system calls was 90 clock cycles or 6%,
measured with the following simple benchmark:

    #include <sys/signal.h>
    #include <time.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <stdio.h>

    unsigned long rdtsc()
    {
        unsigned long result;
        asm volatile("rdtsc; shl $32, %%rdx; mov %%eax, %%eax\n"
                     "or %%rdx, %%rax" : "=a" (result) : : "rdx");
        return result;
    }

    int main()
    {
        unsigned long tsc1, tsc2;
        int pid = getpid();
        int i;

        tsc1 = rdtsc();
        for (i = 0; i < 100000000; i++)
            kill(pid, SIGWINCH);
        tsc2 = rdtsc();

        printf("%ld\n", tsc2 - tsc1);
    }
