Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] x86/uprobes: Keep shadow stack in sync for emulated CALLs

Uprobe CALL emulation updates the normal user stack, but not the CET user
shadow stack. The subsequent RET then sees a stale shadow stack entry and
raises #CP.

Update the relative CALL emulation and XOL CALL fixup paths to keep the
shadow stack in sync.

v2:
 - propagate error from shshk_update_last_frame() rather than returning
   -ERESTART in default_post_xol_op(). (Oleg)

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260622183109.1137245-1-dwindsor@gmail.com/ (local)
