entry: Ensure trap after single-step on system call return
Commit 2991552 ("entry: Drop usage of TIF flags in the generic syscall
code") introduced a bug on architectures using the generic syscall entry
code, in which processes stopped by PTRACE_SYSCALL do not trap on syscall
return after receiving a TIF_SINGLESTEP.
The reason is that the meaning of TIF_SINGLESTEP flag is overloaded to
cause the trap after a system call is executed, but since the above commit,
the syscall call handler only checks for the SYSCALL_WORK flags on the exit
work.
Split the meaning of TIF_SINGLESTEP such that it only means single-step
mode, and create a new type of SYSCALL_WORK to request a trap immediately
after a syscall in single-step mode. In the current implementation, the
SYSCALL_WORK flag shadows the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag for simplicity.
Update x86 to flip this bit when a tracer enables single stepping.
