From: Bodo Stroesser <redacted>

When a page fault occurs on an address below the stack-vma,
UML tries to expand the stack.
On i386 and x86_64, the failing address is compared to the
current userspace stack pointer. If the failing address is
below "esp-32" resp. "rsp-128", stack expansion is not
allowed, and a SIGSEGV is given to the user.
This patch makes UML behave like i386/x86_64.
