um: Revert to using stack for pt_regs in signal handling

Browse Source 
Reverts commit b6024b21fe and
adjusts default stack sizing to cope with larger size of
floating point save registers on the newer Intel CPUs.

b6024b21fe replaced storing the
register state on the stack with kmalloc-ed storage. That has
a number of issues and a panic if that fails.
    1. kmalloc/ATOMIC can fail. There was a latent hard crash
in all interrupt and fault handling as a result.
    2. kmalloc in the interrupt path introduces a considerable
performance penalty for networking ~ 14% on iperf.

This commit restores uml to a stable state until a better
solution is found.

This option determines the size of UML kernel stacks. They will
be 1 << order pages. The default is OK unless you're running Valgrind
on UML, in which case, set this to 3.
It is possible to reduce the stack to 1 for 64BIT and 0 for 32BIT on
older (pre-2017) CPUs. It is not recommended on newer CPUs due to the
increase in the size of the state which needs to be saved when handling
signals.
