entry: Ensure trap after single-step on system call return

Commit 2991552 ("entry: Drop usage of TIF flags in the generic syscall code") introduced a bug on architectures using the generic syscall entry code, in which processes stopped by PTRACE_SYSCALL do not trap on syscall return after receiving a TIF_SINGLESTEP. The reason is that the meaning of TIF_SINGLESTEP flag is overloaded to cause the trap after a system call is executed, but since the above commit, the syscall call handler only checks for the SYSCALL_WORK flags on the exit work. Split the meaning of TIF_SINGLESTEP such that it only means single-step mode, and create a new type of SYSCALL_WORK to request a trap immediately after a syscall in single-step mode. In the current implementation, the SYSCALL_WORK flag shadows the TIF_SINGLESTEP flag for simplicity. Update x86 to flip this bit when a tracer enables single stepping.
