[PATCH v10 1/3] x86/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode return

[Thomas Garnier <thgarnie@google.com>]

Ensure the address limit is a user-mode segment before returning to
user-mode. Otherwise a process can corrupt kernel-mode memory and elevate
privileges [1].

The set_fs function sets the TIF_SETFS flag to force a slow path on
return. In the slow path, the address limit is checked to be USER_DS if
needed.

The addr_limit_user_check function is added as a cross-architecture
function to check the address limit.

v10 redesigns the change to use work flags on set_fs as recommended by
Linus and agreed by others.
