Subject: [ 052/117] Introduce [compat_]save_altstack_ex() to unbreak x86 SMAP

3.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

commit bd1c149aa9915b9abb6d83d0f01dfd2ace0680b5 upstream.

For performance reasons, when SMAP is in use, SMAP is left open for an
entire put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch(); block, however, calling
__put_user() in the middle of that block will close SMAP as the
STAC..CLAC constructs intentionally do not nest.

Furthermore, using __put_user() rather than put_user_ex() here is bad
for performance.

Thus, introduce new [compat_]save_altstack_ex() helpers that replace
__[compat_]save_altstack() for x86, being currently the only
architecture which supports put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch().
