This reverts commit:
2c7577a758 ("sched/x86_64: Don't save flags on context switch")
It was a nice speedup. It's also not quite correct: SYSENTER
enables interrupts too early.
We can re-add this optimization once the SYSENTER code is beaten
into shape, which should happen in 4.3 or 4.4.

Now that the kernel always runs with clean flags (in particular,
NT is clear), there is no need to save and restore flags on
every context switch.
