Subject: [patch V5 05/11] rseq: Implement sys_rseq_slice_yield()
Provide a new syscall which has the only purpose to yield the CPU after the
kernel granted a time slice extension.
sched_yield() is not suitable for that because it unconditionally
schedules, but the end of the time slice extension is not required to
schedule when the task was already preempted. This also allows to have a
strict check for termination to catch user space invoking random syscalls
including sched_yield() from a time slice extension region.

Note: This still uses 470 which conflicts with -next, but this is scheduled
for post -rc1 and basing it on -next makes it more complicated for
now. Will be changed in the final submission.

V5: Rework to adjust to support for arbitrary syscall changes
Use n32/n64/o32 for MIPS - Arnd
V2: Use the proper name in sys_ni.c and add comment - Prateek
