[PATCH] riscv: signal: fix sigaltstack frame size checking

The alternative stack checking in get_sigframe introduced by the Vector
support is not needed and has a problem. It is not needed as we have
already validate it at the beginning of the function if we are already
on an altstack. If not, the size of an altstack is always validated at
its allocation stage with sigaltstack_size_valid().

Besides, we must only regard the size of an altstack if the handler of a
signal is registered with SA_ONSTACK. So, blindly checking overflow of
an altstack if sas_ss_size not equals to zero will check against wrong
signal handlers if only a subset of signals are registered with
SA_ONSTACK.
