[PATCH] uml: SYSEMU: slight cleanup and speedup
As a follow-up to "UML Support - Ptrace: adds the host SYSEMU support, for
UML and general usage" (i.e. uml-support-* in current mm).
Avoid unconditionally jumping to work_pending and code copying, just reuse
the already existing resume_userspace path.
One interesting note, from Charles P. Wright, suggested that the API is
improvable with no downsides for UML (except that it will have to support
yet another host API, since dropping support for the current API, for UML,
is not reasonable from users' point of view).
