I think the abort_ip check should have the same error value as the
other sanity checks, ie just be of this format:
> if (rseq_cs->version > 0)

also, I think you should check start_ip to be consistent. You kind of
accidentally do it with the check for
if (rseq_cs->abort_ip - rseq_cs->start_ip - rseq_cs->post_commit_offset)
but honestly, that has underflow issues already, so I think you want
to basically make the check be
if (rseq_cs->abort_ip >= TASK_SIZE)
return -EINVAL;
if (rseq_cs->start_ip >= rseq_cs->abort_ip)
return -EINVAL;
which takes care of checkint start_ip, and also the underflow for the
post_commit_offset check.
If somebody is depending on negative offsets, then that
post_commit_offset logic is already wrong.

That can underflow too, but I guess we can just rely on get_user()
getting it right.
