[PATCH v9 2/4] x86/syscalls: Optimize address limit check

[Thomas Garnier]

Disable the generic address limit check in favor of an architecture
specific optimized implementation.

The user-mode state check is added to the prepare_exit_to_usermode
function. This function is called before any user-mode return on 32-bit
and on the 64-bit syscall slowpath. For the 64-bit syscall fast path, an
assembly address limit check redirects to the slow path if the address
limit is different.

The TASK_SIZE_MAX definition is moved to the pgtable_64_types header so
it can be used in assembly code.
