POPF is a rather expensive operation, so don't use it for restoring
irq flags. Instead, test whether interrupts are enabled in the flags
parameter and enable interrupts via STI in that case.
This results in the restore_fl paravirt op to be no longer needed.

USERGS_SYSRET64 is used to return from a syscall via SYSRET, but
a Xen PV guest will nevertheless use the IRET hypercall, as there
is no sysret PV hypercall defined.
So instead of testing all the prerequisites for doing a sysret and
then mangling the stack for Xen PV again for doing an iret just use
the iret exit from the beginning.
This can easily be done via an ALTERNATIVE like it is done for the
sysenter compat case already.
It should be noted that this drops the optimization in Xen for not
restoring a few registers when returning to user mode, but it seems
as if the saved instructions in the kernel more than compensate for
this drop (a kernel build in a Xen PV guest was slightly faster with
this patch applied).
While at it remove the stale sysret32 remnants.

SWAPGS is used only for interrupts coming from user mode or for
returning to user mode. So there is no reason to use the PARAVIRT
framework, as it can easily be replaced by an ALTERNATIVE depending
on X86_FEATURE_XENPV.
There are several instances using the PV-aware SWAPGS macro in paths
which are never executed in a Xen PV guest. Replace those with the
plain swapgs instruction. For SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK the same applies.

We currently have 6 (!) separate naming variants to name temporary instruction
buffers that are used for code patching:
- insnbuf
- insnbuff
- insn_buff
- insn_buffer
- ibuf
- ibuffer
These are used as local variables, percpu fields and function parameters.
Standardize all the names to a single variant: 'insn_buff'.

The magic macro DEF_NATIVE() in the paravirt patching code uses inline
assembly to generate a data table for patching in the native instructions.
While clever this is falling apart with LTO and even aside of LTO the
construct is just working by chance according to GCC folks.
Aside of that the tables are constant data and not some form of magic
text.
As these constructs are not subject to frequent changes it is not a
maintenance issue to convert them to regular data tables which are
initialized with hex bytes.
Create a new set of macros and data structures to store the instruction
sequences and convert the code over.
