[PATCH v2 1/5] KVM: rseq: Update rseq when processing NOTIFY_RESUME on xfer to KVM guest

Invoke rseq's NOTIFY_RESUME handler when processing the flag prior to
transferring to a KVM guest, which is roughly equivalent to an exit to
userspace and processes many of the same pending actions.  While the task
cannot be in an rseq critical section as the KVM path is reachable only
by via ioctl(KVM_RUN), the side effects that apply to rseq outside of a
critical section still apply, e.g. the current CPU needs to be updated if
the task is migrated.

Clearing TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME without informing rseq can lead to segfaults
and other badness in userspace VMMs that use rseq in combination with KVM,
e.g. due to the CPU ID being stale after task migration.
