[PATCH 3/6] x86: clean up _TIF_SYSCALL_EMU handling using ptrace_syscall_enter hook

Now that we have a new hook ptrace_syscall_enter that can be called from
syscall entry code and it handles PTRACE_SYSEMU in generic code, we
can do some cleanup using the same in syscall_trace_enter.

Further the extra logic to find single stepping PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP
in syscall_slow_exit_work seems unnecessary. Let's remove the same.
