Subject: arm64: compat: use compat_uptr_t type for compat_ucontext.uc_link
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>
commit c0e01d5d8f15c085236df184e5bc3d79a8b700cd upstream.
struct compat_ucontext * is a 64-bit pointer, so we need to use a
compat_uptr_t instead to avoid declaring a structure incompatible with
what AArch32 userspace expects.
