Subject: [PATCH 2/5] frv: fix address verification holes in
	setup_frame/setup_rt_frame

From: Al Viro <viro@....linux.org.uk>

a) sa_handler might be maliciously set to point to kernel memory;
blindly dereferencing it in FDPIC case is a Bad Idea(tm).

b) I'm not sure you need that set_fs(USER_DS) there at all, but
if you do, you'd better do it *before* checking the frame you've
decided to use with access_ok(), lest sigaltstack() becomes a
convenient roothole.
