x86/asm: Remove thread_info.sysenter_return 

It's no longer needed.

We could reinstate something like it as an optimization, which
would remove two cachelines from the fast syscall entry working
set.  I benchmarked it, and it makes no difference whatsoever to
the performance of cache-hot compat syscalls on Sandy Bridge.
