arch/tile: adopt prepare_exit_to_usermode() model from x86
This change is a prerequisite change for TASK_ISOLATION but also stands on its own for readability and maintainability. The existing tile do_work_pending() was called in a loop from assembly on the slow path; this change moves the loop into C code as well. For the x86 version see commit c5c46f59e4e7 ("x86/entry: Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C"). This change exposes a pre-existing bug on the older tilepro platform; the singlestep processing is done last, but on tilepro (unlike tilegx) we enable interrupts while doing that processing, so we could in theory miss a signal or other asynchronous event. A future change could fix this by breaking the singlestep work into a "prepare" step done in the main loop, and a "trigger" step done after exiting the loop. Since this change is intended as purely a restructuring change, we call out the bug explicitly now, but don't yet fix it. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com>
