Subject: [GIT PULL] x86 fix

Linus,

   # HEAD: b3494a4ab20f6bdf74cdf2badf7918bb65ee8a00 x86/asm/entry: Check for syscall exit work with IRQs disabled

Fix x86 syscall exit code bug that resulted in spurious non-execution 
of TIF-driven user-return worklets, causing big trouble for things 
like KVM that rely on user notifiers for correctness of their vcpu 
model, causing crashes like double faults.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
