Revert "arm/syscalls: Check address limit on user-mode return"
This reverts commit 73ac5d6a2b6ac3ae8d1e1818f3e9946f97489bc9. The work pending loop can call set_fs after addr_limit_user_check removed the _TIF_FSCHECK flag. This may happen at anytime based on how ARM handles alignment exceptions. It leads to an infinite loop condition. After discussion, it has been agreed that the generic approach is not tailored to the ARM architecture and any fix might not be complete. This patch will be replaced by an architecture specific implementation. The work flag approach will be kept for other architectures.
