[PATCH 4/4] ARCv2: entry: Reduce perf intr return path

[Vineet Gupta]

In the more likely case of returning to kernel from perf interrupt, do a
fast path returning w/o bothering about CONFIG_PREEMPT etc

However, if returning to user space, need do go thru the usual gyrations,
as check for pending signals is an absolute must.
