WANG Xuerui c23e7f01cf LoongArch: Relay BCE exceptions to userland as SIGSEGV with si_code=SEGV_BNDERR
SEGV_BNDERR was introduced initially for supporting the Intel MPX, but
fell into disuse after the MPX support was removed. The LoongArch
bounds-checking instructions behave very differently than MPX, but
overall the interface is still kind of suitable for conveying the
information to userland when bounds-checking assertions trigger, so we
wouldn't have to invent more UAPI. Specifically, when the BCE triggers,
a SEGV_BNDERR is sent to userland, with si_addr set to the out-of-bounds
address or value (in asrt{gt,le}'s case), and one of si_lower or
si_upper set to the configured bound depending on the faulting
instruction. The other bound is set to either 0 or ULONG_MAX to resemble
a range with both lower and upper bounds.

Note that it is possible to have si_addr == si_lower in case of a
failing asrtgt or {ld,st}gt, because those instructions test for strict
greater-than relationship. This should not pose a problem for userland,
though, because the faulting PC is available for the application to
associate back to the exact instruction for figuring out the
expectation.

Example exception context generated by a faulting `asrtgt.d t0, t1`
(assert t0 > t1 or BCE) with t0=100 and t1=200:
