f69ca629d8 x86/cpu: Refactor sync_core() for readability
Instead of having #ifdef/#endif blocks inside sync_core() for X86_64 and
X86_32, implement the new function iret_to_self() with two versions.

In this manner, avoid having to use even more more #ifdef/#endif blocks
when adding support for SERIALIZE in sync_core().

9998a9832c x86/cpu: Relocate sync_core() to sync_core.h
Having sync_core() in processor.h is problematic since it is not possible
to check for hardware capabilities via the *cpu_has() family of macros.
The latter needs the definitions in processor.h.

It also looks more intuitive to relocate the function to sync_core.h.

This changeset does not make changes in functionality.

ac1ab12a3e lockin/x86: Implement sync_core_before_usermode()
Ensure that a core serializing instruction is issued before returning to
user-mode. x86 implements return to user-space through sysexit, sysrel,
and sysretq, which are not core serializing.
