Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the tip tree

Hi all,

After merging the tip tree, today's linux-next build (arm64 defconfig)
failed like this:

arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c: In function 'arm64_exit_to_user_mode':
arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:103:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'exit_to_user_mode_prepare'; did you mean 'arch_exit_to_user_mode_prepare'? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
  103 |         exit_to_user_mode_prepare(regs);

Caused by commit

  d58930640310 ("entry: Split up exit_to_user_mode_prepare()")

and maybe following ones.

I have reverted these commits for today:

  69c8e3d16105 ("rseq: Switch to TIF_RSEQ if supported")
  1b3dd1c538a8 ("rseq: Split up rseq_exit_to_user_mode()")
  d58930640310 ("entry: Split up exit_to_user_mode_prepare()")
