rseq: Make exit debugging static branch based

Disconnect it from the config switch and use the static debug branch. This
is a temporary measure for validating the rework. At the end this check
needs to be hidden behind lockdep as it has nothing to do with the other
debug infrastructure, which mainly aids user space debugging by enabling a
zoo of checks which terminate misbehaving tasks instead of letting them
keep the hard to diagnose pieces.
