signals/sigaltstack: If SS_AUTODISARM, bypass on_sig_stack()
If a signal stack is set up with SS_AUTODISARM, then the kernel
inherently avoids incorrectly resetting the signal stack if signals
recurse: the signal stack will be reset on the first signal
delivery. This means that we don't need check the stack pointer
when delivering signals if SS_AUTODISARM is set.
This will make segmented x86 programs more robust: currently there's
a hole that could be triggered if ESP/RSP appears to point to the
signal stack but actually doesn't due to a nonzero SS base.
