Subject: [PATCH  v7 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. get_sigframe() updates the
PKRU value to enable access to the altstack, 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 altstack. But the PKRU has already been restored
from the sigframe (in restore_sigcontext()) which will disable access
to the altstack, resulting in a SIGSEGV.

Fix this by restoring altstack before restoring PKRU.
