Thomas Gleixner 82f572449c rseq: Implement read only ABI enforcement for optimized RSEQ V2 mode
The optimized RSEQ V2 mode requires that user space adheres to the ABI
specification and does not modify the read-only fields cpu_id_start,
cpu_id, node_id and mm_cid behind the kernel's back.

While the kernel does not rely on these fields, the adherence to this is a
fundamental prerequisite to allow multiple entities, e.g. libraries, in an
application to utilize the full potential of RSEQ without stepping on each
other toes.

Validate this adherence on every update of these fields. If the kernel
detects that user space modified the fields, the application is force
terminated.

Fixes: d6200245c7 ("rseq: Allow registering RSEQ with slice extension")
