x86: fix stackframe ownership confusion in sys_sigaltstack()

gcc doesn't understand that "asmlinkage" routines have the
argument stack owned by the assembly-language caller, and the
recent sparse cleanup made gcc think it owns enough stack
frame space to make a tailcall by overwriting "struct pt_regs"
that is set up by the low-level system call code.

Hide that problem again.

The real fix would be to tell gcc that the caller owns the
stack frame that it set up, but we don't have any such
interfaces, so for now the best we can do is to hide it.
