Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] kernel/sys: add PR_GET_TASK_SIZE option to prctl(2)

When PR_GET_TASK_SIZE is passed to prctl, the kernel will attempt to
copy the value of TASK_SIZE to the userspace address in arg2.

It is important that we account for the case of the userspace task
running in 32-bit compat mode on a 64-bit kernel. As such, we must be
careful to copy the correct number of bytes to userspace to avoid stack
corruption.
