signals/sigaltstack, x86/signals: Unify the x86 sigaltstack check with other architectures

Currently x86's get_sigframe() checks for "current->sas_ss_size"
to determine whether there is a need to switch to sigaltstack.
The common practice used by all other arches is to check for
sas_ss_flags(sp) == 0

This patch makes the code consistent with other architectures.

The slight complexity of the patch is added by the optimization on
!sigstack check that was requested by Andy Lutomirski: sas_ss_flags(sp)==0
already implies that we are not on a sigstack, so the code is shuffled
to avoid the duplicate checking.

This patch should have no user-visible impact.
