Provide ksys_shmdt() wrapper to avoid in-kernel calls to this syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_shmdt(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

The non-compat codepaths for sys_...msg() verify that MSG_CMSG_COMPAT is not set. By moving this check to the __sys_...msg() functions (and making it dependent on a static flag passed to this function), we can call the __sys...msg() functions instead of the syscall functions in all cases. __sys_recvmmsg() does not need this trickery, as the check is handled within the do_sys_recvmmsg() function internal to net/socket.c. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

sys_futex() is a wrapper to do_futex() which does not modify any values here: - uaddr, val and val3 are kept the same - op is masked with FUTEX_CMD_MASK, but is always set to FUTEX_WAKE.

do_kexec_load() can be called directly by compat_sys_kexec() as long as the same parameters checks are completed which are currently handled (also) by sys_kexec(). Therefore, move those to kexec_load_check(), call that newly introduced helper function from both sys_kexec() and compat_sys_kexec(), and duplicate the remaining code from sys_kexec() in compat_sys_kexec().

The syscall entry points to the kernel defined by SYSCALL_DEFINEx() and COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() should only be called from userspace through kernel entry points, but not from the kernel itself. This will allow cleanups and optimizations to the entry paths *and* to the parts of the kernel code which currently need to pretend to be userspace in order to make use of syscalls. Signed-off-by:
