[RFC PATCH 05/13] x86/um: nommu: syscall translation by zpoline

This commit adds a mechanism to hook syscalls for unmodified userspace
programs used under UML in !MMU mode. The mechanism, called zpoline,
translates syscall/sysenter instructions with `call *%rax`, which can be
processed by a trampoline code also installed upon an initcall during
boot. The translation is triggered by elf_arch_finalize_exec(), an arch
hook introduced by another commit.

All syscalls issued by userspace thus redirected to a speicific function,
__kernel_vsyscall, introduced as a syscall entry point for !MMU UML.  This
totally changes the code path to hook syscall with ptrace(2) used by
MMU-full UML.
