Subject[patch 083/198] x86_64: Fix a small missing schedule race
From
Date

From: "Andi Kleen" <ak@suse.de>

Could lead to a lost reschedule event when the process already rescheduled on
exception exit, and needs it again while still being in the kernel. Unlikely
case though.

Also remove one redundant cli in another entry.S path.
