commit 82975bc6a6df743b9a01810fb32cb65d0ec5d60b upstream.

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.
