A process can disable access to the alternate signal stack by not
enabling the altstack's pkey in the PKRU register. Nevertheless, the
kernel updates the PKRU temporarily for signal handling. However, in
sigreturn(), restore_sigcontext() will restore the PKRU to the
user-defined PKRU value. This will cause restore_altstack() to fail with
a SIGSEGV as it needs read access to the altstack which is prohibited
by the user-defined PKRU value.

Fix this by restoring altstack before restoring PKRU.

x86/pkeys: Restore altstack access in sigreturn()

A process can disable access to the alternate signal stack by not
enabling the altstack's PKEY in the PKRU register.

Nevertheless, the kernel updates the PKRU temporarily for signal
handling. However, in sigreturn(), restore_sigcontext() will restore the
PKRU to the user-defined PKRU value.

This will cause restore_altstack() to fail with a SIGSEGV as it needs read
access to the altstack which is prohibited by the user-defined PKRU value.

Fix this by restoring altstack before restoring PKRU.
