4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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.
