If the only work flag was _TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY, we'd skip user return notifiers. Fix it. (This is the only missing bit.) This fixes double faults on a KVM host. It's the same issue as last time, except that this time it's very easy to trigger. Apparently no one uses -next as a KVM host. (I'm still not quite sure what it is that KVM does that blows up so badly if we miss a user return notifier. My best guess is that KVM lets KERNEL_GS_BASE (i.e. the user's gs base) be negative and fixes it up in a user return notifier. If we actually end up in user mode with a negative gs base, we blow up pretty badly.)
