How does this interact with siglongjmp()?

This patch makes me extremely nervous due to the possibility of ABI
issues and CRIU breakage.

Is it actually okay to modify these structures like this?  They're
part of the user ABI, and I don't know whether any user code relies on
the size being constant.

TASK_SIZE_MAX.  But I'm a bit unsure why you need this check at all.

This will blow up if the shadow stack enabled state changes in a
signal handler.  Maybe we don't care.
