Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are disabled,
the flags can change under our feet. Generally this is unlikely to cause a
problem in practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and KCSAN will
legitimately warn that there is a data race.
To avoid such issues, a snapshot of the flags has to be taken prior to
using them. Some places already use READ_ONCE() for that, others do not.
Convert them all to the new flag accessor helpers.

Add TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL handling in the generic entry code, which if set,
will return true if signal_pending() is used in a wait loop. That causes an
exit of the loop so that notify_signal tracehooks can be run. If the wait
loop is currently inside a system call, the system call is restarted once
task_work has been processed.
In preparation for only having arch_do_signal() handle syscall restarts if
_TIF_SIGPENDING isn't set, rename it to arch_do_signal_or_restart(). Pass
in a boolean that tells the architecture specific signal handler if it
should attempt to get a signal, or just process a potential syscall
restart.
For !CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY archs, add the TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL handling to
get_signal(). This is done to minimize the needed architecture changes to
support this feature.

All the callers currently do this, clean it up and move the clearing
into tracehook_notify_resume() instead.

Entering a guest is similar to exiting to user space. Pending work like
handling signals, rescheduling, task work etc. needs to be handled before
that.
Provide generic infrastructure to avoid duplication of the same handling
code all over the place.
The transfer to guest mode handling is different from the exit to usermode
handling, e.g. vs. rseq and live patching, so a separate function is used.
The initial list of work items handled is:
TIF_SIGPENDING, TIF_NEED_RESCHED, TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
Architecture specific TIF flags can be added via defines in the
architecture specific include files.
The calling convention is also different from the syscall/interrupt entry
functions as KVM invokes this from the outer vcpu_run() loop with
interrupts and preemption enabled. To prevent missing a pending work item
it invokes a check for pending TIF work from interrupt disabled code right
before transitioning to guest mode. The lockdep, RCU and tracing state
handling is also done directly around the switch to and from guest mode.
