Hypervisors invoke resume_user_mode_work() before entering the guest, which clears TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. The @regs argument is NULL as there is no user space context available to them, so the rseq notify handler skips inspecting the critical section, but updates the CPU/MM CID values unconditionally so that the eventual pending rseq event is not lost on the way to user space. This is a pointless exercise as the task might be rescheduled before actually returning to user space and it creates unnecessary work in the vcpu_run() loops. It's way more efficient to ignore that invocation based on @regs == NULL and let the hypervisors re-raise TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME after returning from the vcpu_run() loop before returning from the ioctl(). This ensures that a pending RSEQ update is not lost and the IDs are updated before returning to user space. Once the RSEQ handling is decoupled from TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, this turns into a NOOP.
