properly support exec and wait with kernel pointers v2

Hi all,

this series first cleans up the exec code and then adds proper
kernel_execveat and kernel_wait callers instead of relying on the fact
that the early init code and kernel threads implicitly run with
the address limit set to KERNEL_DS.

Note that the cleanup removes the compat execve(at) handlers entirely, as
we can handle the compat difference very nicely in a unified codebase.
x32 needs two hacky #defines for that for now, although those can go
away if the x32 syscall rework from Brian gets merged.

Changes since v1:
 - remove a pointless ifdef from get_user_arg_ptr
 - remove the need for a compat syscall handler for x32
