mm/pkeys: Fix siginfo ABI breakage caused by new u64 field

Stephen Rothwell reported this linux-next build failure:

	http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160226164406.065a1ffc@canb.auug.org.au

... caused by the Memory Protection Keys patches from the tip tree triggering
a newly introduced build-time sanity check on an ARM build, because they changed
the ABI of siginfo in an unexpected way.

If u64 has a natural alignment of 8 bytes (which is the case on most mainstream
platforms, with the notable exception of x86-32), then the leadup to the
_sifields union matters:

typedef struct siginfo {
        int si_signo;
        int si_errno;
        int si_code;

        union {
	...
        } _sifields;
} __ARCH_SI_ATTRIBUTES siginfo_t;

Note how the first 3 fields give us 12 bytes, so _sifields is not 8
naturally bytes aligned.

Before the _pkey field addition the largest element of _sifields (on
32-bit platforms) was 32 bits. With the u64 added, the minimum alignment
requirement increased to 8 bytes on those (rare) 32-bit platforms. Thus
GCC padded the space after si_code with 4 extra bytes, and shifted all
_sifields offsets by 4 bytes - breaking the ABI of all of those
remaining fields.

On 64-bit platforms this problem was hidden due to _sifields already
having numerous fields with natural 8 bytes alignment (pointers).

To fix this, we replace the u64 with an '__u32'.  The __u32 does not
increase the minimum alignment requirement of the union, and it is
also large enough to store the 16-bit pkey we have today on x86.
