x86/entry/64: Return to userspace from the trampoline stack

By itself, this is useless.  It gives us the ability to run some final code
before exit that cannnot run on the kernel stack.  This could include a CR3
switch a la PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION or some kernel stack erasing, for
example.  (Or even weird things like *changing* which kernel stack gets
used as an ASLR-strengthening mechanism.)

The SYSRET32 path is not covered yet.  It could be in the future or
we could just ignore it and force the slow path if needed.
