arm64: signal: factor out signal frame record allocation
This patch factors out the allocator for signal frame optional records into a separate function, to ensure consistency and facilitate later expansion. No overrun checking is currently done, because the allocation is in user memory and anyway the kernel never tries to allocate enough space in the signal frame yet for an overrun to occur. This behaviour will be refined in future patches. The approach taken in this patch to allocation of the terminator record is not very clean: this will also be replaced in subsequent patches. For future extension, a comment is added in sigcontext.h documenting the current static allocations in __reserved[]. This will be important for determining under what circumstances userspace may or may not see an expanded signal frame.
