[PATCH] kselftest/arm64: Fix validation of EXTRA_CONTEXT signal contexts

[Mark Brown]

Currently in validate_extra_context() we assert both that the extra data
pointed to by the EXTRA_CONTEXT is 16 byte aligned and that it immediately
follows the struct _aarch64_ctx providing the terminator for the linked
list of contexts in the signal frame. Since struct _aarch64_ctx is an 8
byte structure which must be 16 byte aligned these cannot both be true. As
documented in sigcontext.h and implemented by the kernel the extra data
should be at the next 16 byte aligned address after the terminator so fix
the validation to match.

I just realised that this is a very similar subject to another fix I
sent for this stuff a few hours ago.  Both fixes are needed, the code
really is quite buggy.  I've tweaked the subjects locally in case I need
to resend - this one is:

kselftest/arm64: Fix validation of EXTRA_CONTEXT signal contexts

and the other is:

kselftest/arm64: Fix validatation termination record after EXTRA_CONTEXT

The good news is that with the patches I've now posted we no longer get
any spurious failures, though further patches (which should emerge after
the merge window) will be required to actually validate the data inside
an EXTRA_CONTEXT.
