x86/asm: Remove thread_info.sysenter_return
It's no longer needed.
We could reinstate something like it as an optimization, which
would remove two cachelines from the fast syscall entry working
set. I benchmarked it, and it makes no difference whatsoever to
the performance of cache-hot compat syscalls on Sandy Bridge.
