The value of __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE defines the size (including
padding) of the part of the struct siginfo that is before the union, and
it is then used to calculate the needed padding (SI_PAD_SIZE) to make
the size of struct siginfo equal to 128 (SI_MAX_SIZE) bytes.

Depending on the target architecture and word width it equals to either
3 or 4 times sizeof int.

Since the very beginning we had __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE wrong on the
parisc architecture for the 64bit kernel build.  It's even more
frustrating, because it can easily be checked at compile time if the
value was defined correctly.

This patch adds such a check for the correctness of
__ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE in the hope that it will prevent existing and
future architectures from running into the same problem.

I refrained from replacing __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE by offsetof() in
copy_siginfo() in include/asm-generic/siginfo.h, because a) it doesn't
make any difference and b) it's used in the Documentation/kmemcheck.txt
example.

I ran this patch through the 0-DAY kernel test infrastructure and only
the parisc architecture triggered as expected.  That means that this
patch should be OK for all major architectures.
