Revert "x86: signal: change type of paramter for sys_rt_sigreturn()"

This reverts commit 4217458.

Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox
crashes.

The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of
the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and
thus corrupts user-space register state.

So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe
method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.
