Subject: [PATCH v2] fix x86_64 sigreturn trampoline so gdb recognizes it

gdb can only unwind across signal handlers if it recognizes the trampoline.
on x86_64 this means the pc must be in a function called __restore_rt or
if gdb cannot determine the symbol name the instruction sequence must match
to what gdb expects.

a nop is added before __restore_rt, the __restore alias is removed and
size annotation is added to make sure gdb maps any pc value within
__restore_rt unambigously to the __restore_rt symbol name.

and the instruction sequence got fixed to match what gdb expects.
