[PATCH 00/19] Add generic user_landing tracking

Started from discussion [1], where was noted that currently a couple of
architectures support mremap() for vdso/sigpage, but not munmap().
If an application maps something on the ex-place of vdso/sigpage,
later after processing signal it will land there (good luck!)

Patches set is based on linux-next (next-20201106) and it depends on
changes in x86/cleanups (those reclaim TIF_IA32/TIF_X32) and also
on my changes in akpm (fixing several mremap() issues).

Logically, the patches set divides on:
- patch       1: cleanup for patches in x86/cleanups
- patches  2-11: cleanups for arch_setup_additional_pages()
- patches 12-13: x86 signal changes for unmapped vdso
- patches 14-19: provide generic user_landing in mm_struct

In the end, besides cleanups, it's now more predictable what happens for
applications with unmapped vdso on architectures those support .mremap()
for vdso/sigpage.

I'm aware of only one user that unmaps vdso - Valgrind [2].
(there possibly are more, but this one is "special", it unmaps vdso, but
 not vvar, which confuses CRIU [Checkpoint Restore In Userspace], that's
 why I'm aware of it)
