tracehook: TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME

Browse Source 
This adds tracehook.h inlines to enable a new arch feature in support of
user debugging/tracing.  This is not used yet, but it lays the groundwork
for a debugger to be able to wrangle a task that's possibly running,
without interrupting its syscalls in progress.

Each arch should define TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and in their entry.S code treat
it much like TIF_SIGPENDING.  That is, it causes you to take the slow path
when returning to user mode, where you get the full user-mode state
accessible as for signal handling or ptrace.  The arch code should check
TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME after handling TIF_SIGPENDING.  When it's set, clear it
and then call tracehook_notify_resume().

In future, tracing code will call set_notify_resume() when it wants to get
a callback in tracehook_notify_resume().
