Thomas Gleixner 83409986f4 rseq, virt: Retrigger RSEQ after vcpu_run()
Hypervisors invoke resume_user_mode_work() before entering the guest, which
clears TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. The @regs argument is NULL as there is no user
space context available to them, so the rseq notify handler skips
inspecting the critical section, but updates the CPU/MM CID values
unconditionally so that the eventual pending rseq event is not lost on the
way to user space.

This is a pointless exercise as the task might be rescheduled before
actually returning to user space and it creates unnecessary work in the
vcpu_run() loops.

It's way more efficient to ignore that invocation based on @regs == NULL
and let the hypervisors re-raise TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME after returning from the
vcpu_run() loop before returning from the ioctl().

This ensures that a pending RSEQ update is not lost and the IDs are updated
before returning to user space.

Once the RSEQ handling is decoupled from TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, this turns into
a NOOP.
