Mathieu Desnoyers e61938a921 locking: Introduce sync_core_before_usermode()
Introduce an architecture function that ensures the current CPU
issues a core serializing instruction before returning to usermode.

This is needed for the membarrier "sync_core" command.

Architectures defining the sync_core_before_usermode() static inline
need to select ARCH_HAS_SYNC_CORE_BEFORE_USERMODE.
