The kernel sets SYSCALL_WORK_RSEQ_SLICE when it grants a time slice
extension. This allows to handle the rseq_slice_yield() syscall, which is
used by user space to relinquish the CPU after finishing the critical
section for which it requested an extension.
In case the kernel state is still GRANTED, the kernel resets both kernel
and user space state with a set of sanity checks. If the kernel state is
already cleared, then this raced against the timer or some other interrupt
and just clears the work bit.
Doing it in syscall entry work allows to catch misbehaving user space,
which issues a syscall from the critical section. Wrong syscall and
inconsistent user space result in a SIGSEGV.
