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.
