This is intended for x86/urgent.  Sorry for taking so long, but it
seemed nice to avoid breaking Xen.

This fixes the "dazed and confused" issue which was exposed by the
CVE-2015-5157 fix.  It's also probably a good general attack surface
reduction, and it replaces some scary code with IMO less scary code.

Also, servers and embedded systems should probably turn off modify_ldt.
This makes that possible.

Xen people, can you test patch 1?  It works for me on my evil 32-bit
Xen virtio setup.

Willy and Kees: I left the config option alone.  The -tiny people will
like it, and we can always add a sysctl of some sort later.

Changes from v5:
 - Improve Xen bits, this time with comments that seem plausible.
 - Fix debug_locks warning on exec.
 - Add a test for exec preserving the LDT (!)

Changes from v4:
 - Fix Xen even better (patch 1 is new).
 - Reorder the patches to make a little more sense.

Changes from v3:
 - Hopefully fixed Xen.
 - Fixed 32-bit test case on 32-bit native kernel.
 - Fix bogus vumnap for some LDT sizes.
 - Strengthen test case to check all LDT sizes (catches bogus vunmap).
 - Lots of cleanups, mostly from Borislav.
 - Simplify IPI code using on_each_cpu_mask.

Changes from v2:
 - Allocate ldt_struct and the LDT entries separately.  This should fix Xen.
 - Stop using write_ldt_entry, since I'm pretty sure it's unnecessary now
   that we no longer mutate an in-use LDT.  (Xen people, can you check?)

Changes from v1:
 - The config option is new.
 - The test case is new.
 - Fixed a missing allocation failure check.
 - Fixed a use-after-free on fork().
