x86 ptrace: unify TIF_SINGLESTEP
This unifies the treatment of TIF_SINGLESTEP on i386 and x86_64.
The bit is now excluded from _TIF_WORK_MASK on i386 as it has been
on x86_64. This means the do_notify_resume() path using it is never
used, so TIF_SINGLESTEP is not cleared on returning to user mode.
Both now leave TIF_SINGLESTEP set when returning to user, so that
it's already set on an int $0x80 system call entry. This removes
the need for testing TF on the system_call path. Doing it this way
fixes the regression for PTRACE_SINGLESTEP into a sigreturn syscall,
introduced by commit 1e2e99f0e4aa6363e8515ed17011c210c8f1b52a.
The clear_TF_reenable case that sets TIF_SINGLESTEP can only happen
on a non-exception kernel entry, i.e. sysenter/syscall instruction.
That will always get to the syscall exit tracing path.
