If the two are mixed up, then it looks as though the parent
returned an error if the child failed (before) the mmap(),
and then the resulting process never gets killed. Fix this
by splitting the child and parent errors, reporting and
using them appropriately.

In some cases we can get to fix_range_common() with mmap_sem held,
and in others we get there without it being held. For example, we
get there with it held from sys_mprotect(), and without it held
from fork_handler().
Avoid any issues in this and simply defer killing the task until
it runs the next time. Do it on the mm so that another task that
shares the same mm can't continue running afterwards.

UML is using an obsolete itimer call for
all timers and "polls" for kernel space timer firing
in its userspace portion resulting in a long list
of bugs and incorrect behaviour(s). It also uses
ITIMER_VIRTUAL for its timer which results in the
timer being dependent on it running and the cpu
load.
This patch fixes this by moving to posix high resolution
timers firing off CLOCK_MONOTONIC and relaying the timer
correctly to the UML userspace.
Fixes:
- crashes when hosts suspends/resumes
- broken userspace timers - effecive ~40Hz instead
of what they should be. Note - this modifies skas behavior
by no longer setting an itimer per clone(). Timer events
are relayed instead.
- kernel network packet scheduling disciplines
- tcp behaviour especially under load
- various timer related corner cases
Finally, overall responsiveness of userspace is better.

Before we had SKAS0 UML had two modes of operation
TT (tracing thread) and SKAS3/4 (separated kernel address space).
TT was known to be insecure and got removed a long time ago.
SKAS3/4 required a few (3 or 4) patches on the host side which never went
mainline. The last host patch is 10 years old.
With SKAS0 mode (separated kernel address space using 0 host patches),
default since 2005, SKAS3/4 is obsolete and can be removed.

We can't just plop asm/* into it - userland helpers are built with it
in search path and seeing asm/* show up there suddenly would be a bad
idea.
