Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 2/3] thread_local_abi: wire up x86 32/64 system call

Wire up the thread local ABI on x86 32/64. Call the
thread_local_abi_handle_notify_resume() function on return to
userspace if TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME thread flag is set.

This provides an ABI improving the speed of a getcpu operation
on x86 by removing the need to perform a function call, "lsl"
instruction, or system call on the fast path.
