x86/asm/entry: Fix execve() and sigreturn() syscalls to always return via IRET
Both the execve() and sigreturn() family of syscalls have the ability to change registers in ways that may not be compatabile with the syscall path they were called from. In particular, SYSRET and SYSEXIT can't handle non-default %cs and %ss, and some bits in eflags. These syscalls have stubs that are hardcoded to jump to the IRET path, and not return to the original syscall path. The following commit: 76f5df43cab5e76 ("Always allocate a complete "struct pt_regs" on the kernel stack") recently changed this for some 32-bit compat syscalls, but introduced a bug where execve from a 32-bit program to a 64-bit program would fail because it still returned via SYSRETL. This caused Wine to fail when built for both 32-bit and 64-bit. This patch sets TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME for execve() and sigreturn() so that the IRET path is always taken on exit to userspace.
