ARC: SA_SIGINFO ucontext regs off-by-one
The regfile provided to SA_SIGINFO signal handler as ucontext was off by
one due to pt_regs gutter cleanups in 2013.
Before handling signal, user pt_regs are copied onto user_regs_struct and copied
back later. Both structs are binary compatible. This was all fine until
commit 2fa919045b72 (ARC: pt_regs update #2) which removed the empty stack slot
at top of pt_regs (corresponding to first pad) and made the corresponding
fixup in struct user_regs_struct (the pad in there was moved out of
@scratch - not removed altogether as it is part of ptrace ABI)
 struct user_regs_struct {
+       long pad;
        struct {
-               long pad;
                long bta, lp_start, lp_end,....
        } scratch;
 ...
 }
This meant that now user_regs_struct was off by 1 reg w.r.t pt_regs and
signal code needs to user_regs_struct.scratch to reflect it as pt_regs,
which is what this commit does.
This problem was hidden for 2 years, because both save/restore, despite
using wrong location, were using the same location. Only an interim
inspection (reproducer below) exposed the issue.
     void handle_segv(int signo, siginfo_t *info, void *context)
     {
 	ucontext_t *uc = context;
	struct user_regs_struct *regs = &(uc->uc_mcontext.regs);
	printf("regs %x %x\n",               <=== prints 7 8 (vs. 8 9)
               regs->scratch.r8, regs->scratch.r9);
     }
     int main()
     {
	struct sigaction sa;
	sa.sa_sigaction = handle_segv;
	sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;
	sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
	sigaction(SIGSEGV, &sa, NULL);
	asm volatile(
	"mov	r7, 7	\n"
	"mov	r8, 8	\n"
	"mov	r9, 9	\n"
	"mov	r10, 10	\n"
	:::"r7","r8","r9","r10");
	*((unsigned int*)0x10) = 0;
     }
