Log Message:
Fix for a problem where an user can crash the machine via sigreturn(),
noticed by and fix from Miod Vallat <miod%openbsd.org@localhost>.

Miod's OpenBSD log message:
> Don't uvm_useracc the user sigcontext in sys_sigreturn and then access
> the user addresses directly from the kernel. copyin is faster and can
> correctly deal properly with mappings that uvm_useracc thinks are
> correct but will fault anyway (to figure out how to generate such
> mappings is left as en excercise for the reader).
>
> Blatantly stolen from art@'s similar fix to sparc.
