x86, selftests: Add sigreturn selftest
This is my sigreturn test, added mostly unchanged from its old home. It exercises the sigreturn(2) syscall, specifically focusing on its interactions with various IRET corner cases. It tests for correct behavior in several areas that were historically dangerously buggy. For example, it exercises espfix on kernels of both bitnesses under various conditions, and it contains testcases for several now-fixed bugs in IRET error handling. If you run it on older kernels without the fixes, your system will crash. It probably won't eat your data in the process. There is no released kernel on which the sigreturn_64 test will pass, but it passes on tip:x86/asm. I plan to switch to lib.mk for Linux 4.2. I'm not using the ksft_ helpers at all yet. I can do that later.
