[PATCH v1 4/6] arm64/signal: Avoid rereading context frame sizes

We need to read the sizes of the signal context frames as part of parsing
the overall signal context in parse_user_sigframe(). In the cases where we
defer frame specific parsing to other functions those functions always
reread the size and validate the version they read, opening the possibility
that the value may change. Avoid this possibility by passing the size read
in parse_user_sigframe() through user_ctxs and referring to that.

Note that for SVE and ZA contexts we still read the size again but after
this change we no longer use the value, further changes will avoid the
read.
