x86: get rid of TIF_IRET hackery
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME will work in precisely the same way; all that is achieved by TIF_IRET is appearing that there's some work to be done, so we end up on the iret exit path. Just use NOTIFY_RESUME. And for execve() do that in 32bit start_thread(), not sys_execve() itself. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
