Subject: [PATCH v2] signal: always clear sa_restorer on execve

When the new signal handlers are set up, the location of sa_restorer
is not cleared, leaking a parent process's address space location to
children. This allows for a potential bypass of the parent's ASLR by
examining the sa_restorer value returned when calling sigaction().
Based on what should be considered "secret" about addresses, it only
matters across the exec not the fork (since the VMAs haven't changed
until the exec). But since exec sets SIG_DFL and keeps sa_restorer,
this is where it should be fixed.
Given the few uses of sa_restorer, a "set" function was not written
since this would be the only use. Instead, we use __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER,
as already done in other places.
Example of the leak before applying this patch:
$ cat /proc/$$/maps
