um: Fix out-of-bounds read in LDT setup

syscall_stub_data() expects the data_count parameter to be the number of
longs, not bytes.

==================================================================
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in syscall_stub_data+0x70/0xe0

The buggy address belongs to stack of task swapper/1
and is located at offset 64 in frame:
init_new_ldt+0x0/0x960

This frame has 2 objects:
[32, 40) 'addr'
[64, 80) 'desc'

x86/entry: Use SYSCALL_DEFINE() macros for sys_modify_ldt()

We do not have tracepoints for sys_modify_ldt() because we define
it directly instead of using the normal SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros.

However, there is a reason sys_modify_ldt() does not use the macros:
it has an 'int' return type instead of 'unsigned long'. This is
a bug, but it's a bug cemented in the ABI.

What does this mean? If we return -EINVAL from a function that
returns 'int', we have 0x00000000ffffffea in %rax. But, if we
return -EINVAL from a function returning 'unsigned long', we end
up with 0xffffffffffffffea in %rax, which is wrong.

To work around this and maintain the 'int' behavior while using
the SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros, so we add a cast to 'unsigned int'
in both implementations of sys_modify_ldt().

um: Do not rely on libc to provide modify_ldt()

modify_ldt() was declared as an external symbol. Despite the man
page for this syscall telling that there is no wrapper in glibc,
since version 2.1 there actually is, so linking to the glibc
works.

Since modify_ldt() is not a POSIX interface, other libc
implementations do not always provide a wrapper function.
Even glibc headers do not provide a corresponding declaration.

So go the recommended way to call this using syscall().

um: Remove SKAS3/4 support

Before we had SKAS0 UML had two modes of operation
TT (tracing thread) and SKAS3/4 (separated kernel address space).
TT was known to be insecure and got removed a long time ago.
SKAS3/4 required a few (3 or 4) patches on the host side which never went
mainline. The last host patch is 10 years old.

With SKAS0 mode (separated kernel address space using 0 host patches),
default since 2005, SKAS3/4 is obsolete and can be removed.

um: take ldt.h to arch/x86/um/asm/mm_context.h

it's x86-only and we have no business playing with it in asm/mmu.h; make
the latter have
struct uml_arch_mm_context arch;
instead of
struct uml_ldt ldt;
and let arch/<subarch>/um/asm/mm_context.h decide what'll be in there.
While we are at it, kill host_ldt.h - it's not needed in part of places
that include it (we want asm/ldt.h in those) and it can be trivially
expanded into the single remaining one.
