For example, for 64-bit apps,

A shadow stack pointer value (*ssp) has to be in some code area, but for 
a token, (*ptr_of_token) = (ptr_of_token + 8), which has to be within 
the same shadow stack area.  In cet_verify_rstor_token(), this is checked.

The kernel takes the restore address from the token.  It will not 
mistakenly take a wrong address from the shadow stack.  I will put this 
in my commit logs.
