[PATCH 1/4] syscalls: Use CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION for addr_limit_user_check

[Kees Cook]

From: Thomas Garnier <thgarnie@xxxxxxxxxx>

Use CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION instead of BUG_ON to provide more flexibility
on address limit failures. By default, send a SIGKILL signal to kill the
current process preventing exploitation of a bad address limit.

Make the TIF_FSCHECK flag optional so ARM can use this function.
