Subject: [PATCH v6 3/5] x86/pkeys: Update PKRU to enable all pkeys before XSAVE

If the alternate signal stack is protected by a different pkey than the
current execution stack, copying xsave data to the sigaltstack will fail
if its pkey is not enabled. We do not know which pkey was used by the
application for the sigaltstack, so enable all pkeys before xsave
so that the signal handler accessibility is not dictated by the PKRU
value that the thread sets up. But this updated PKRU value is also
pushed onto the sigframe, so overwrite that with the original,
user-defined PKRU value so that the value restored from sigcontext does
not have the extra pkey enabled.
