rseq: Use __u64 for rseq_cs fields, validate user inputs
Change the rseq ABI so rseq_cs start_ip, post_commit_offset and abort_ip fields are seen as 64-bit fields by both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels rather that ignoring the 32 upper bits on 32-bit kernels. This ensures we have a consistent behavior for a 32-bit binary executed on 32-bit kernels and in compat mode on 64-bit kernels. Validating the value of abort_ip field to be below TASK_SIZE ensures the kernel don't return to an invalid address when returning to userspace after an abort. I don't fully trust each architecture code to consistently deal with invalid return addresses. Validating the value of the start_ip and post_commit_offset fields prevents overflow on arithmetic performed on those values, used to check whether abort_ip is within the rseq critical section. If validation fails, the process is killed with a segmentation fault. When the signature encountered before abort_ip does not match the expected signature, return -EINVAL rather than -EPERM to be consistent with other input validation return codes from rseq_get_rseq_cs().
