x86 ptrace: user-sets-TF nits

Browse source 
This closes some arcane holes in single-step handling that can arise
only when user programs set TF directly (via popf or sigreturn) and
then use vDSO (syscall/sysenter) system call entry.  In those entry
paths, the clear_TF_reenable case hits and we must check TIF_SINGLESTEP
to be sure our bookkeeping stays correct wrt the user's view of TF.
