context_tracking: Restore preempted context state after preempt_schedule_irq()
>From the context tracking POV, preempt_schedule_irq() behaves pretty much
like an exception: It can be called anytime and schedule another task.
But currently it doesn't restore the context tracking state of the preempted
code on preempt_schedule_irq() return.
As a result, if preempt_schedule_irq() is called in the tiny frame between
user_enter() and the actual return to userspace, we resume userspace with
the wrong context tracking state.
Fix this by using exception_enter/exit() which are a perfect fit for this
kind of issue.
