When a PTE is updated in the page table, the _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit will
always be set. And the corresponding page will always be mapped or
unmapped depending on whether the PTE is present or not. The check
on the _PAGE_NEWPROT bit is not really reachable. Abandoning it will
allow us to simplify the code and remove the unreachable code.

The current LDT code has a few issues that mean it should be redone in a
different way once we always start with a fresh MM even when cloning.
In a new and better world, the kernel would just ensure its own LDT is
clear at startup. At that point, all that is needed is a simple function
to populate the LDT from another MM in arch_dup_mmap combined with some
tracking of the installed LDT entries for each MM.
Note that the old implementation was even incorrect with regard to
reading, as it copied out the LDT entries in the internal format rather
than converting them to the userspace structure.
Removal should be fine as the LDT is not used for thread-local storage
anymore.

Rework syscall handling to be platform independent. Also create a clean
split between queueing of syscalls and flushing them out, removing the
need to keep state in the code that triggers the syscalls.
The code adds syscall_data_len to the global mm_id structure. This will
be used later to allow surrounding code to track whether syscalls still
need to run and if errors occurred.
