Subject: [RFC UKL 07/10] x86/signal: Adjust signal handler register values and return frame

For a UKL thread, returning to a signal handler is not done with iret or
sysret.  This means we need to adjust the way the return stack frame is
handled for these threads.  When constructing the signal frame, we leave
the previous frame in place because we will return to it from the signal
handler.  We also leave space for pushing eflags and the return address.
UKL threads will only use the __KERNEL_DS value in the ss register and 0xC3
in the cs register.
