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 on 64-bit. Guard against that by
clipping the maximum TASK_SIZE to the maximum addressable area.

v9: This patch is technically not needed anymore, but does not hurt
v7: Fix integer overflow on 32 bit with 3-level page tables
