arm64: entry: move bulk of ret_to_user to C



In `ret_to_user` we perform some conditional work depending on the
thread flags, then perform some IRQ/context tracking which is intended
to balance with the IRQ/context tracking performed in the entry C code.

For simplicity and consistency, it would be preferable to move this all
to C. As a step towards that, this patch moves the conditional work and
IRQ/context tracking into a C helper function. To aid bisectability,
this is called from the `ret_to_user` assembly, and a subsequent patch
will move the call to C code.

As local_daif_mask() handles all necessary tracing and PMR manipulation,
we no longer need to handle this explicitly. As we call
exit_to_user_mode() directly, the `user_enter_irqoff` macro is no longer
used, and can be removed. As enter_from_user_mode() and
exit_to_user_mode() are no longer called from assembly, these can be
made static, and as these are typically very small, they are marked
__always_inline to avoid the overhead of a function call.

For now, enablement of single-step is left in entry.S, and for this we
still need to read the flags in ret_to_user(). It is safe to read this
separately as TIF_SINGLESTEP is not part of _TIF_WORK_MASK.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
