x86: tls prevent_tail_call
Fix a kernel bug (vmware boot problem) reported by Tomasz Grobelny, which occurs with certain .config variants and gccs. The x86 TLS cleanup in commit efd1ca52 made the sys_set_thread_area and sys_get_thread_area functions ripe for tail call optimization. If the compiler chooses to use it for them, it can clobber the user trap frame because these are asmlinkage functions.
