Convert the IRET exception handler to IDTENTRY_SW. This is slightly
different than the conversions of hardware exceptions as the IRET exception
is invoked via an exception table when IRET faults. So it just uses the
IDTENTRY_SW mechanism for consistency. It does not emit ASM code as it does
not fit the other idtentry exceptions.
- Implement the C entry point with DEFINE_IDTENTRY_SW() which maps to
DEFINE_IDTENTRY()
- Fixup the XEN/PV code
- Remove the old prototypes
- Remove the RCU warning as the new entry macro ensures correctness
No functional change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
