[PATCH] x86: signal: Don't do sas_ss_reset() until we are certain that sigframe won't be abandoned

Currently we handle SS_AUTODISARM as soon as we have stored the
altstack settings into sigframe - that's the point when we have
set the things up for eventual sigreturn to restore the old settings.
And if we manage to set the sigframe up (we are not done with that
yet), everything's fine. However, in case of failure we end up
with sigframe-to-be abandoned and SIGSEGV force-delivered. And
in that case we end up with inconsistent rules - late failures
have altstack reset, early ones do not.

It's trivial to get consistent behaviour - just handle SS_AUTODISARM
once we have set the sigframe up and are committed to entering
the handler, i.e. in signal_delivered().
