4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nicholas Piggin <npig...@gmail.com>
commit b8e90cb7bc04a509e821e82ab6ed7a8ef11ba333 upstream.
In the syscall exit path we may be returning to user or kernel
context. We already have a test for that, because we conditionally
restore r13. So use that existing test and branch, and bifurcate the
return based on that.
