Subject: [PATCH 1/3] arm/syscalls: Move address limit check in loop

The work pending loop can call set_fs after addr_limit_user_check
removed the _TIF_FSCHECK flag. To prevent the infinite loop, move
the addr_limit_user_check call at the beginning of the loop.

Fixes: 73ac5d6a2b6a ("arm/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode return")
