x86: tls prevent_tail_call
Fix a kernel bug (vmware boot problem) reported by Tomasz Grobelny,
which occurs with certain .config variants and gccs.
The x86 TLS cleanup in commit efd1ca52d04d2f6df337a3332cee56cd60e6d4c4
made the sys_set_thread_area and sys_get_thread_area functions ripe for
tail call optimization. If the compiler chooses to use it for them, it
can clobber the user trap frame because these are asmlinkage functions.
