[PATCH v3 2/5] um: Limit TASK_SIZE to the addressable range

[benjamin at sipsolutions.net]

From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg at intel.com>

We may have a TASK_SIZE from the host that is bigger than UML is able to
address with a three-level pagetable. Guard against that by clipping the
maximum TASK_SIZE to the maximum addressable area.
