Patch 1 fixes a KVM+rseq bug where KVM's handling of TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME,
e.g. for task migration, clears the flag without informing rseq and leads
to stale data in userspace's rseq struct.

Patch 2 is a cleanup to try and make future bugs less likely.  It's also
a baby step towards moving and renaming tracehook_notify_resume() since
it has nothing to do with tracing.  It kills me to not do the move/rename
as part of this series, but having a dedicated series/discussion seems
more appropriate given the sheer number of architectures that call
tracehook_notify_resume() and the lack of an obvious home for the code.

Patch 3 is a fix/cleanup to stop overriding x86's unistd_{32,64}.h when
the include path (intentionally) omits tools' uapi headers.  KVM's
selftests do exactly that so that they can pick up the uapi headers from
the installed kernel headers, and still use various tools/ headers that
mirror kernel code, e.g. linux/types.h.  This allows the new test in
patch 4 to reference __NR_rseq without having to manually define it.

Patch 4 is a regression test for the KVM+rseq bug.

Patch 5 is a cleanup made possible by patch 3.

Queued v3, thanks. I'll send it in a separate pull request to Linus since it touches stuff outside my usual turf.

Thanks,
