x86 call do_notify_resume on paranoid returns if TIF_UPROBE is set
but not on non-paranoid returns. I suspect that this is a mistake
and that the code only works because int3 is paranoid.
Setting _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in the uprobe code was probably a
workaround for the x86 bug. With that bug fixed, we can remove
_TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from the uprobes code.
