Can TASK_SIZE > UINTPTR_MAX on an arm64 system?

The case that you are describing has to return -EPERM per ABI spec. This case
has to return -EINVAL.

The first case is taken care from the generic code. But if we don't do this
check before on arm64 compat we end up returning the wrong error code.

For the non compat case the same is taken care from the syscall fallback [1].
