x86/shstk: Check that signal frame is shadow stack mem

The shadow stack signal frame is read by the kernel on sigreturn. It
relies on shadow stack memory protections to prevent forgeries of this
signal frame (which included the pre-signal SSP). This behavior helps
userspace protect itself. However, using the INCSSP instruction userspace
can adjust the SSP to 8 bytes beyond the end of a shadow stack. INCSSP
performs shadow stack reads to make sure it doesn’t increment off of the
shadow stack, but on the end position it actually reads 8 bytes below the
new SSP.

For the shadow stack HW operations, this situation (INCSSP off the end
of a shadow stack by 8 bytes) would be fine. If the a RET is executed, the
push to the shadow stack would fail to write to the shadow stack. If a
CALL is executed, the SSP will be incremented back onto the stack and the
return address will be written successfully to the very end. That is
expected behavior around shadow stack underflow.

However, the kernel doesn’t have a way to read shadow stack memory using
shadow stack accesses. WRUSS can write to shadow stack memory with a
shadow stack access which ensures the access is to shadow stack memory.
But unfortunately for this case, there is no equivalent instruction for
shadow stack reads. So when reading the shadow stack signal frames, the
kernel currently assumes the SSP is pointing to the shadow stack and uses
a normal read.

The SSP pointing to shadow stack memory will be true in most cases, but as
described above, in can be untrue by 8 bytes. So lookup the VMA of the
shadow stack sigframe being read to verify it is shadow stack.

Since the SSP can only be beyond the shadow stack by 8 bytes, and
shadow stack memory is page aligned, this check only needs to be done
when this type of relative position to a page boundary is encountered.
So skip the extra work otherwise.
