fork: Provide usercopy whitelisting for task_struct

While the blocked and saved_sigmask fields of task_struct are copied to
userspace (via sigmask_to_save() and setup_rt_frame()), it is always
copied with a static length (i.e. sizeof(sigset_t)).

The only portion of task_struct that is potentially dynamically sized and
may be copied to userspace is in the architecture-specific thread_struct
at the end of task_struct.

cache object allocation:
    kernel/fork.c:
        alloc_task_struct_node(...):
            return kmem_cache_alloc_node(task_struct_cachep, ...);

        dup_task_struct(...):
            ...
            tsk = alloc_task_struct_node(node);

        copy_process(...):
            ...
            dup_task_struct(...)

        _do_fork(...):
            ...
            copy_process(...)

example usage trace:

    arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c:
        __fpu__restore_sig(...):
            ...
            struct task_struct *tsk = current;
            struct fpu *fpu = &tsk->thread.fpu;
            ...
            __copy_from_user(&fpu->state.xsave, ..., state_size);

        fpu__restore_sig(...):
            ...
            return __fpu__restore_sig(...);

    arch/x86/kernel/signal.c:
        restore_sigcontext(...):
            ...
            fpu__restore_sig(...)

This introduces arch_thread_struct_whitelist() to let an architecture
declare specifically where the whitelist should be within thread_struct.
If undefined, the entire thread_struct field is left whitelisted.
