This patch defines an extra_context signal frame record that can be
used to describe an expanded signal frame, and modifies the context
block allocator and signal frame setup and parsing code to create,
populate, parse and decode this block as necessary.
To avoid abuse by userspace, parse_user_sigframe() attempts to
ensure that:
* no more than one extra_context is accepted;
* the extra context data is a sensible size, and properly placed
and aligned.
The extra_context data is required to start at the first 16-byte
aligned address immediately after the dummy terminator record
following extra_context in rt_sigframe.__reserved[] (as ensured
during signal delivery). This serves as a sanity-check that the
signal frame has not been moved or copied without taking the extra
data into account.

[will: add __force annotation when casting extra_datap to __user pointer]

This patch factors out the allocator for signal frame optional
records into a separate function, to ensure consistency and
facilitate later expansion.
No overrun checking is currently done, because the allocation is in
user memory and anyway the kernel never tries to allocate enough
space in the signal frame yet for an overrun to occur. This
behaviour will be refined in future patches.
The approach taken in this patch to allocation of the terminator
record is not very clean: this will also be replaced in subsequent
patches.
For future extension, a comment is added in sigcontext.h
documenting the current static allocations in __reserved[]. This
will be important for determining under what circumstances
userspace may or may not see an expanded signal frame.

This information is useful for instruction emulators to detect
read/write and access size without having to decode the faulting
instruction. The current patch exports it via sigcontext (struct
esr_context) and is only valid for SIGSEGV and SIGBUS.
