signal: Fix alternate signal stack check 

All architectures in the kernel increment/decrement the stack pointer
before storing values on the stack.

On architectures which have the stack grow down sas_ss_sp == sp is not
on the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is
on the alternate signal stack.

On architectures which have the stack grow up sas_ss_sp == sp is on
the alternate signal stack while sas_ss_sp + sas_ss_size == sp is not
on the alternate signal stack.

The current implementation fails for architectures which have the
stack grow down on the corner case where sas_ss_sp == sp.This was
reported as Debian bug #544905 on AMD64.
Simplified test case: http://download.breakpoint.cc/tc-sig-stack.c

The test case creates the following stack scenario:
   0xn0300	stack top
   0xn0200	alt stack pointer top (when switching to alt stack)
   0xn01ff	alt stack end
   0xn0100	alt stack start == stack pointer

If the signal is sent the stack pointer is pointing to the base
address of the alt stack and the kernel erroneously decides that it
has already switched to the alternate stack because of the current
check for "sp - sas_ss_sp < sas_ss_size"

On parisc (stack grows up) the scenario would be:
   0xn0200	stack pointer
   0xn01ff	alt stack end
   0xn0100	alt stack start = alt stack pointer base
   		    	  	  (when switching to alt stack)
   0xn0000	stack base

This is handled correctly by the current implementation.

[ tglx: Modified for archs which have the stack grow up (parisc) which
  	would fail with the correct implementation for stack grows
  	down. Added a check for sp >= current->sas_ss_sp which is
  	strictly not necessary but makes the code symetric for both
  	variants ]
