Subject: entry: Inline syscall_exit_to_user_mode()

From: Charlie Jenkins <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2025 10:29:24 -0700

Similar to commit 221a164035fd ("entry: Move syscall_enter_from_user_mode()
to header file"), move syscall_exit_to_user_mode() to the header file as
well.

Testing was done with the byte-unixbench syscall benchmark (which calls
getpid) and QEMU. On riscv I measured a 7.09246% improvement, on x86 a
2.98843% improvement, on loongarch a 6.07954% improvement, and on s390 a
11.1328% improvement.

The Intel bot also reported "kernel test robot noticed a 1.9% improvement
of stress-ng.seek.ops_per_sec".
