[PATCH v10 2/3] arm/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode return

Ensure the address limit is a user-mode segment before returning to
user-mode. Otherwise a process can corrupt kernel-mode memory and
elevate privileges [1].

The set_fs function sets the TIF_SETFS flag to force a slow path on
return. In the slow path, the address limit is checked to be USER_DS if
needed.

The TIF_SETFS flag is added to _TIF_WORK_MASK shifting _TIF_SYSCALL_WORK
for arm instruction immediate support. The global work mask is too big
to used on a single instruction so adapt ret_fast_syscall.

v10 redesigns the change to use work flags on set_fs as recommended by
Linus and agreed by others.
