We used to optimize rescheduling and audit on syscall exit. Now that the full slow path is reasonably fast, remove these optimizations. This adds something like 10ns to the previously optimized paths on my computer, presumably due mostly to SAVE_REST / RESTORE_REST. I think that we should eventually replace both the syscall and non-paranoid interrupt exit slow paths with a pair of C functions along the lines of the syscall entry hooks.
