x86/entry: Split and inline prepare_exit_to_usermode()
GCC is unable to properly optimize functions that have a very short likely case and a longer and register-heavier cold part -- it fails to sink all of the register saving and stack frame setup code into the unlikely part. Help it out with prepare_exit_to_usermode() by splitting it into two parts and inline the hot part. Saves 6-8 cycles for compat syscalls.
