Subject: alpha: simplify TIF_NEED_RESCHED handling

In case we have both NEED_RESCHED and SIGPENDING/NOTIFY_RESUME,
handle the latter first.  We'll get to original priorities in
the next commit, but now that allows to simplify the treatment
of NEED_RESCHED-only case nicely.  Namely, now there no need to
preserve the data for restarts across the call of schedule() in
$work_resched; we can get there only if we had either returned
from syscall without SIGPENDING (in which case we should've
had no restart-worthy return value and want no restarts) or
already got through do_notify_resume() call (in which case we
want no restarts anymore).  So we can just slap 0 into $19
instead of preserving it (and $20).

Subject: alpha: take SIGPENDING/NOTIFY_RESUME loop into signal.c

Turn the slow side of work_pending into C function, including all
the looping.  What we get out of that:
	* we do _not_ call get_signal_to_deliver() with IRQs disabled
anymore
	* no need to save/restore volatiles on each pass if there
turns to be more than one (unlikely, but still)
	* all double-restart prevention is in C now.
	* glue gets simpler.

Subject: alpha: don't bother passing switch_stack separately from regs

It's needed only in setup_sigcontext() and it's always reg - <constant>;
no point passing it all way down through the call chain.  This is just
the signal.c side of that stuff; next will come the asm glue one...

Subject: infrastructure for saner ret_from_kernel_thread semantics

* allow kernel_execve() leave the actual return to userland to
caller (selected by CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE).  Callers
updated accordingly.
* architecture that does select GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE in its
Kconfig should have its ret_from_kernel_thread() do this:
	call schedule_tail
	call the callback left for it by copy_thread(); if it ever
returns, that's because it has just done successful kernel_execve()
	jump to return from syscall
IOW, its only difference from ret_from_fork() is that it does call the
callback.
* such an architecture should also get rid of ret_from_kernel_execve()
and __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE

This is the last part of infrastructure patches in that area - from
that point on work on different architectures can live independently.
