Ingo Molnar 5b3eec0c80 x86: ret_from_fork - get rid of jump back
Impact: remove dead code

If we take a closer look at the rff_trace/rff_action ret_from_fork code,
we have to realize that it does all the wrong things: for example it
checks the TIF flag - while later on jumping back to the ret-from-syscall
path - duplicating the check needlessly.

But checking for _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE is completely unnecessary here because
we clear that flag for every freshly forked task. So the whole "tracing"
code here, for which there is a out of line jump optimization that makes
it even harder to read, is in reality completely dead code ...
