[PATCH] uml: maintain own LDT entries



Patch imlements full LDT handling in SKAS:
 * UML holds it's own LDT table, used to deliver data on
   modify_ldt(READ)
 * UML disables the default_ldt, inherited from the host (SKAS3)
   or resets LDT entries, set by host's clib and inherited in
   SKAS0
 * A new global variable skas_needs_stub is inserted, that
   can be used to decide, whether stub-pages must be supported
   or not.
 * Uses the syscall-stub to replace missing PTRACE_LDT (therefore,
   write_ldt_entry needs to be modified)
