Subject: [PATCH  v4 4/5] x86/pkeys: Restore altstack before sigcontext

A process can disable access to the alternate signal stack and still
expect signals to be delivered correctly. handle_signal() updates the
PKRU value to enable access to the atlstack, and makes sure that the
value on the sigframe is the user-defined PKRU value so that it is
correctly restored. However, in sigreturn(), restore_altstack() needs
read access to the alt stack. But the PKRU is already restored from the
sigframe (in restore_sigcontext()) which will disable access to the
alt stack, resulting in a SIGSEGV.

Fix this by restoring altstack before restoring PKRU.
