x86, smap: Reduce the SMAP overhead for signal handling
Signal handling contains a bunch of accesses to individual user space
items, which causes an excessive number of STAC and CLAC
instructions. Instead, let get/put_user_try ... get/put_user_catch()
contain the STAC and CLAC instructions.
This means that get/put_user_try no longer nests, and furthermore that
it is no longer legal to use user space access functions other than
__get/put_user_ex() inside those blocks. However, these macros are
x86-specific anyway and are only used in the signal-handling paths; a
simple reordering of moving the larger subroutine calls out of the
try...catch blocks resolves that problem.
