[REVIEW][PATCH 19/20] signal/x86: Pass pkey by value

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Mon Sep 17 2018 - 20:13:36 EST


Now that si_code == SEGV_PKUERR is the flag indicating that a pkey
is present there is no longer a need to pass a pointer to a local
pkey value, instead pkey can be passed more efficiently by value.
