[PATCH 2/2] arm64: factor work_pending state machine to C

[Mark Rutland]

Currently ret_fast_syscall, work_pending, and ret_to_user form an ad-hoc
state machine that can be difficult to reason about due to duplicated
code and a large number of branch targets.

This patch factors the common logic out into the existing
do_notify_resume function, converting the code to C in the process,
making the code more legible.

This patch tries to mirror the existing behaviour as closely as possible
while using the usual C control flow primitives. There should be no
functional change as a result of this patch.
