4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx> commit b8e90cb7bc04a509e821e82ab6ed7a8ef11ba333 upstream. In the syscall exit path we may be returning to user or kernel context. We already have a test for that, because we conditionally restore r13. So use that existing test and branch, and bifurcate the return based on that.
