x86/asm: Remove thread_info.sysenter_return
It's no longer needed. We could reinstate something like it as an optimization, which would remove two cachelines from the fast syscall entry working set. I benchmarked it, and it makes no difference whatsoever to the performance of cache-hot compat syscalls on Sandy Bridge.
