TIF_NOTITY_RESUME is evaluated on return to user space along with other TIF
flags.
>From the kernels point of view a VMENTER is more or less equivalent to
return to user space which means that at least a subset of TIF flags needs
to be evaluated and handled.
Currently KVM handles only TIF_SIGPENDING and TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is ignored. So pending task_work etc, is completely
ignored until the vCPU thread actually goes all the way back into
userspace/qemu.
Provide notify_resume_pending() and tracehook_handle_notify_resume() so
this can be handled similar to SIGPENDING.
