Revert "sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch"
This reverts commit:
2c7577a75837 ("sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch")
It was a nice speedup. It's also not quite correct: SYSENTER
enables interrupts too early.
We can re-add this optimization once the SYSENTER code is beaten
into shape, which should happen in 4.3 or 4.4.
