futex: Add robust futex unlock IP range

There will be a VDSO function to unlock robust futexes in user space. The
unlock sequence is racy vs. clearing the list_pending_op pointer in the
tasks robust list head. To plug this race the kernel needs to know the
instruction window. As the VDSO is per MM the addresses are stored in
mm_struct::futex.

Architectures which implement support for this have to update these
addresses when the VDSO is (re)mapped and indicate the pending op pointer
size which is matching the IP.

Arguably this could be resolved by chasing mm->context->vdso->image, but
that's architecture specific and requires to touch quite some cache
lines. Having it in mm::futex reduces the cache line impact and avoids
having yet another set of architecture specific functionality.

To support multi size robust list applications (gaming) this provides two
ranges when COMPAT is enabled.
