arch/tile: fix up some issues in calling do_work_pending()

Browse Source 
First, we were at risk of handling thread-info flags, in particular
do_signal(), when returning from kernel space.  This could happen
after a failed kernel_execve(), or when forking a kernel thread.
The fix is to test in do_work_pending() for user_mode() and return
immediately if so; we already had this test for one of the flags,
so I just hoisted it to the top of the function.

Second, if a ptraced process updated the callee-saved registers
in the ptregs struct and then processed another thread-info flag, we
would overwrite the modifications with the original callee-saved
registers.  To fix this, we add a register to note if we've already
saved the registers once, and skip doing it on additional passes
through the loop.  To avoid a performance hit from the couple of
extra instructions involved, I modified the GET_THREAD_INFO() macro
to be guaranteed to be one instruction, then bundled it with adjacent
instructions, yielding an overall net savings.
