mm: Implement stack frame object validation
This creates per-architecture function arch_within_stack_frames() that should validate if a given object is contained by a kernel stack frame. Initial implementation is on x86. This is based on code from PaX. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> (cherry picked from commit 0f60a8efe4005ab5e65ce000724b04d4ca04a199) Signed-off-by: Alex Shi <alex.shi@linaro.org> Conflicts: skip EBPF_JIT in arch/x86/Kconfig

+ An architecture should select this if it can walk the kernel stack
+ frames to determine if an object is part of either the arguments
+ or local variables (i.e. that it excludes saved return addresses,
+ and similar) by implementing an inline arch_within_stack_frames(),
