sync_core_before_usermode() had an incorrect optimization. If the kernel
returns from an interrupt, it can get to usermode without IRET. It just has
to schedule to a different task in the same mm and do SYSRET. Fortunately,
there were no callers of sync_core_before_usermode() that could have had
in_irq() or in_nmi() equal to true, because it's only ever called from the
scheduler.
While at it, clarify a related comment.

- Fix typos.
- Move the compiler barrier comment to the top, because it's valid for the
whole function, not just the legacy branch.

The SERIALIZE instruction gives software a way to force the processor to
complete all modifications to flags, registers and memory from previous
instructions and drain all buffered writes to memory before the next
instruction is fetched and executed. Thus, it serves the purpose of
sync_core(). Use it when available.

Instead of having #ifdef/#endif blocks inside sync_core() for X86_64 and
X86_32, implement the new function iret_to_self() with two versions.
In this manner, avoid having to use even more more #ifdef/#endif blocks
when adding support for SERIALIZE in sync_core().

Having sync_core() in processor.h is problematic since it is not possible
to check for hardware capabilities via the *cpu_has() family of macros.
The latter needs the definitions in processor.h.
It also looks more intuitive to relocate the function to sync_core.h.
This changeset does not make changes in functionality.

Ensure that a core serializing instruction is issued before returning to
user-mode. x86 implements return to user-space through sysexit, sysrel,
and sysretq, which are not core serializing.
