kernel: Let user_debugger take care of tracking syscall runtime.

If we just use the kernel entry time, then the pre-syscall tracing
routine (with a debugger message send) will be counted in the syscall's
runtime.

Makes the output of timing in strace and strace -c much more accurate,
however it won't include the "syscall overhead" (time spent in the
syscall entry routines, etc.) But we already can't account for time
spent in the userland-to-kernel transition, so that should probably
be measured some other way if knowing it is desired.

In fact, on architectures which used the generic syscall dispatcher
(e.g. RISC-V), this is the behavior that already existed. So this just
makes x86 consistent with them.
