[PATCH v4 1/5] arm64/entry: Unify user mode handling

Currently, arm64 has two functions to prepare and handle context switches
from userspace: arm64_syscall_enter_from_user_mode() and
arm64_enter_from_user_mode(). The only difference is that the later calls
rseq_note_user_irq_entry() that sets rseq.event.user_irq as true.
To ensure that futex_fixup_robust_unlock() works correctly, unify the
handling from user mode functions into one that always calls
rseq_note_user_irq_entry().
Other architectures calls irqentry_enter_from_user_mode() for syscalls
and interruptions, that sets rseq.event.user_irq as well.
