properly support exec with kernel pointers v3

From: Christoph Hellwig

Hi all,

this series first cleans up the exec code and then adds proper
kernel_execveat and kernel_wait callers instead of relying on the fact
that the early init code and kernel threads implicitly run with
the address limit set to KERNEL_DS.

Note that the cleanup removes the compat execve(at) handlers entirely, as
we can handle the compat difference very nicely in a unified codebase.
x32 needs two hacky #defines for that for now, although those can go
away if the x32 syscall rework from Brian gets merged.

I think this is ready to get picked up. What would the best tree be?
Most important a git tree would be good, as I have other work building
on top of it.


Changes since v2:
- drop the kernel_wait addition, as this interacts with a series
from Luis and should be merged together with that one

Changes since v1:
- remove a pointless ifdef from get_user_arg_ptr
- remove the need for a compat syscall handler for x32
