Shadow stacks are normally written to via CALL/RET or specific CET
instructions like RSTORSSP/SAVEPREVSSP. However during some Linux
operations the kernel will need to write to directly using the ring-0 only
WRUSS instruction.

A shadow stack restore token marks a restore point of the shadow stack, and
the address in a token must point directly above the token, which is within
the same shadow stack. This is distinctively different from other pointers
on the shadow stack, since those pointers point to executable code area.

Introduce token setup and verify routines. Also introduce WRUSS, which is
a kernel-mode instruction but writes directly to user shadow stack.

In future patches that enable shadow stack to work with signals, the kernel
will need something to denote the point in the stack where sigreturn may be
called. This will prevent attackers calling sigreturn at arbitrary places
in the stack, in order to help prevent SROP attacks.

To do this, something that can only be written by the kernel needs to be
placed on the shadow stack. This can be accomplished by setting bit 63 in
the frame written to the shadow stack. Userspace return addresses can't
have this bit set as it is in the kernel range. It is also can't be a
valid restore token.

v5:
 - Fix typo in commit log

v3:
 - Drop shstk_check_rstor_token()
 - Fail put_shstk_data() if bit 63 is set in the data (Kees)
 - Add comment in create_rstor_token() (Kees)
 - Pull in create_rstor_token() changes from future patch (Kees)

v2:
 - Add data helpers for writing to shadow stack.

v1:
 - Use xsave helpers.
