x86/entry/compat: Implement opportunistic SYSRETL for compat syscalls If CS, SS and IP are as expected and FLAGS is compatible with SYSRETL, then return from fast compat syscalls (both SYSCALL and SYSENTER) using SYSRETL. Unlike native 64-bit opportunistic SYSRET, this is not invisible to user code: RCX and R8-R15 end up in a different state than shown saved in pt_regs. To compensate, we only do this when returning to the vDSO fast syscall return path. This won't interfere with syscall restart, as we won't use SYSRETL when returning to the INT80 restart instruction.
