Subject: [RFC/PATCH 5/7] x86/vm86: Teach handle_vm86_trap to return to 32bit mode directly

The TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME hack it was using was buggy and unsupportable.
vm86 mode was completely broken under ptrace, for example, because
we'd never make it to v8086 mode.

This code is still a huge, scary mess, but at least it's no longer
tangled with the exit-to-userspace loop.
