Subject: [RFC PATCH 7/8] entry: Report local wake up on resched blind zone while resuming to user

The last rescheduling opportunity while resuming to user is in
exit_to_user_mode_loop(). This means that any wake up performed on
the local runqueue after this point is going to have its rescheduling
silently ignored.

Perform sanity checks to report these situations.
