[PATCH v9 08/13] arch/arm64: adopt prepare_exit_to_usermode() model from x86

This change is a prerequisite change for TASK_ISOLATION but also
stands on its own for readability and maintainability. The existing
arm64 do_notify_resume() is called in a loop from assembly on
the slow path; this change moves the loop into C code as well.
For the x86 version see commit c5c46f59e4e7 ("x86/entry: Add new,
comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C").
