Disable the generic pre-usermode check in favor of an optimized implementation. This patch adds specific checks on user-mode return path to make it faster and smaller.
The address limit is checked on each syscall return path to user-mode. If it was changed, a generic handler is called to stop the kernel on an explicit check.
