The address of __kuser_sigtramp is wrong by one word, due to padding
__kuser_cmpxchg to fully 64 bytes. The version word at the start of the
page displaces __kuser_sigtramp to 0x1044, instead of the intended 0x1040.

Fixed by counting the 64-byte frame from the start of the page instead
of __kuser_cmpxchg. This shortens the __kuser_cmpxchg frame to 60-bytes,
but that's likely enough.

The zero-byte padding parts of the kuser_pad macro has been removed, due
to the .if command refusing to behave properly when there are other
.word directives in between. Probably a binutils gas bug.

Thanks,
Chung-Lin
