Subject: [PATCH v8 4/4] arm64/syscalls: Optimize address limit check
Disable the generic address limit check in favor of an architecture
specific optimized implementation.
The address limit is checked on each syscall return path to user-mode.
If it was changed, a generic handler is called to stop the kernel on an
explicit check.
