mainlining shenanigans

paranoid_exit needs to restore CR3 before GSBASE. Doing it in the opposite
order crashes if the exception came from a context with user GSBASE and
user CR3 -- RESTORE_CR3 cannot resture user CR3 if run with user GSBASE.
This results in infinitely recursing exceptions if user code does SYSENTER
with TF set if both FSGSBASE and PTI are enabled.
The old code worked if user code just set TF without SYSENTER because #DB
from user mode is special cased in idtentry and paranoid_exit doesn't run.
Fix it by cleaning up the spaghetti code. All that paranoid_exit needs to
do is to disable IRQs, handle IRQ tracing, then restore CR3, and restore
GSBASE. Simply do those actions in that order.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
