If a system call does not request a full interrupt return, use a fast
path via the sysretq instruction to return from the system call. This was removed in 190620 and not quite fully restored in 195486. This resolves most of the performance regression in system call microbenchmarks between 7 and 8 on amd64. Reviewed by: kib MFC after: 1 week
