rseq: uapi: Declare rseq_cs field as union, update includes
Declaring the rseq_cs field as a union between __u64 and two __u32 allows both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to read the full __u64, and therefore validate that a 32-bit user-space cleared the upper 32 bits, thus ensuring a consistent behavior between native 32-bit kernels and 32-bit compat tasks on 64-bit kernels. Check that the rseq_cs value read is < TASK_SIZE. The asm/byteorder.h header needs to be included by rseq.h, now that it is not using linux/types_32_64.h anymore. Considering that only __32 and __u64 types are declared in linux/rseq.h, the linux/types.h header should always be included for both kernel and user-space code: including stdint.h is just for u64 and u32, which are not used in this header at all. Use copy_from_user()/clear_user() to interact with a 64-bit field, because arm32 does not implement 64-bit __get_user, and ppc32 does not 64-bit get_user. Considering that the rseq_cs pointer does not need to be loaded/stored with single-copy atomicity from the kernel anymore, we can simply use copy_from_user()/clear_user().
