x86/pv: Don't clobber NT on return-to-guest
A 64bit IRET can restore NT - the faulting case is when NT is set in the live
flags. This change had an unintended consequence of causing the NT flag to
spontaneously disappear from guest context whenever a interrupt/exception
occurred.
In combination with a SYSENTER which sets both TF and NT, Xen's handling of
the #DB exceptions clears NT before it is even recorded suitably in the guest
kernel's view of what userspace was doing.
