arm64: signal: factor frame layout and population into separate passes
In preparation for expanding the signal frame, this patch refactors the signal frame setup code in setup_sigframe() into two separate passes. The first pass, setup_sigframe_layout(), determines the size of the signal frame and its internal layout, including the presence and location of optional records. The resulting knowledge is used to allocate and locate the user stack space required for the signal frame and to determine which optional records to include. The second pass, setup_sigframe(), is called once the stack frame is allocated in order to populate it with the necessary context information. As a result of these changes, it becomes more natural to represent locations in the signal frame by a base pointer and an offset, since the absolute address of each location is not known during the layout pass. To be more consistent with this logic, parse_user_sigframe() is refactored to describe signal frame locations in a similar way. This change has no effect on the signal ABI, but will make it easier to expand the signal frame in future patches.
