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 arches. 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 have no any user-visible impact. It is purely a cleanup.
