Syscall User Dispatch requirements are fully supported in x86. This
patch flips the switch, marking it as supported.  This was tested
against Syscall User Dispatch selftest.

Is this needed at all? I think simply "the architecture uses the generic
entry code" is sufficient to enable it. (Especially since there's a top
level config for SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, it feels like overkill).

Maybe it is not necessary.  The reason I have this is to prevent
architectures migrating to the generic entry code from inadvertently
starting to support this feature, without thinking in advance whether
arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn is needed.  If that is not a good reason,
I'm happy to drop it.
