The following patches make it possible to use swapcontext()
in a sighandler that works on sigaltstack.
The approach is inspired by Andy Lutomirski's suggestion that
sigaltstack should disarm itself after saving into uc_stack:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/1/594

I add the SS_AUTODISARM flag that does exactly that.
On sighandler exit, the sigaltstack is restored from uc_stack.
Another possible name could be SS_ONESHOT, but, since it gets
always re-enabled, I choose SS_AUTODISARM.

Changes since previous resend:
- Added missing CCs, thanks for the hint Ingo

Change since v5:
- Fix description of patch 4/4

Change since v4:
- Implement this Andy Lutomirski's suggestion:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/6/158
that allows the run-time probing of the existence of the
flags added in the future.

[PATCH 1/4] [Cleanup] x86: signal: unify the sigaltstack check with
	A clean-up patch that unifies x86's sigaltstack handling with
	other arches.
[PATCH 2/4] sigaltstack: preparations for adding new SS_xxx flags
	Andy's suggested changes
[PATCH 3/4] sigaltstack: implement SS_AUTODISARM flag
	This patch implements SS_AUTODISARM flag
[PATCH 4/4] selftests: Add test for
	This patch adds the selftest code for new functionality
