x86/paravirt: split sysret and sysexit
Don't conflate sysret and sysexit; they're different instructions with
different semantics, and may be in use at the same time (at least
within the same kernel, depending on whether its an Intel or AMD
system).
sysexit - just return to userspace, does no register restoration of
any kind; must explicitly atomically enable interrupts.
sysret - reloads flags from r11, so no need to explicitly enable
interrupts on 64-bit, responsible for restoring usermode %gs
