BACKPORT: x86/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode return
(cherry-picked from 5ea0727b163cb5575e36397a12eade68a1f35f24)
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.
