On exception exit, we restore the previous context tracking state based on
the regs of the interrupted frame. Iff that frame is in user mode as
stated by user_mode() helper, we restore the context tracking user mode.
However there is a tiny chunck of low level arch code after we pass through
user_enter() and until the CPU eventually resumes userspace.
If an exception happens in this tiny area, exception_enter() correctly
exits the context tracking user mode but exception_exit() won't restore
it because of the value returned by user_mode(regs).
As a result we may return to userspace with the wrong context tracking
state.
To fix this, change exception_enter() to return the context tracking state
prior to its call and pass this saved state to exception_exit(). This restores
the real context tracking state of the interrupted frame.
(May be this patch was suggested to me, I don't recall exactly. If so,
sorry for the missing credit).

This is the exception hooks for context tracking subsystem, including
data access, program check, single step, instruction breakpoint, machine check,
alignment, fp unavailable, altivec assist, unknown exception, whose handlers
might use RCU.
This patch corresponds to
[PATCH] x86: Exception hooks for userspace RCU extended QS
commit 6ba3c97a38803883c2eee489505796cb0a727122
But after the exception handling moved to generic code, and some changes in
following two commits:
56dd9470d7c8734f055da2a6bac553caf4a468eb
context_tracking: Move exception handling to generic code
6c1e0256fad84a843d915414e4b5973b7443d48d
context_tracking: Restore correct previous context state on exception exit
it is able for exception hooks to use the generic code above instead of a
redundant arch implementation.
