x86 ptrace: user-sets-TF nits
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.
