This patch ensures a syscall does not return to user-mode with a kernel
address limit. If that happened, a process can corrupt kernel-mode
memory and elevate privileges.

For example, it would mitigation this bug:

- https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=990

The CONFIG_ARCH_NO_SYSCALL_VERIFY_PRE_USERMODE_STATE option is also
added so each architecture can optimize this change.

Awesome. :) I've tested this on x86 and arm with the LKDTM patch I'll
post in a moment.

[   46.977823] lkdtm: Performing direct entry CORRUPT_USER_DS
[   46.978966] lkdtm: setting bad task size limit
[   46.980302] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[   46.981219] kernel BUG at ./include/linux/syscalls.h:200!
