Subject: [RFC 1/2] urn, make user return notifier lockless
This makes it possible to use user return notifier in hardware error
handler, which usually has NMI like semantics such as machine check
exception handler.
The implementation is based on that of irq_work.
Because one mandatory initializer interface is added, to make patchset
bisectable, the changes to the only current user: kvm, is included in
this patch too.
