context_tracking: Restore previous state in schedule_user
It appears that some SCHEDULE_USER (asm for schedule_user) callers
in arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S are called from RCU kernel context,
and schedule_user will return in RCU user context. This causes RCU
warnings and possible failures.
This is intended to be a minimal fix suitable for 3.18.
