[PATCH] Aarch64: Better termination checks for sigcontext reading

Fixing up my own error. Almost sent this as OBV, but held off.

When reading the reserved section on in the sigcontext ensure
address is updated on an unknown section. For additional safety, add
checks to prevent reading past the end of the array.

Fixes gdb.base/savedregs.exp

2018-10-18  Alan Hayward  <alan.hayward@arm.com>

	* aarch64-linux-tdep.c (AARCH64_SIGCONTEXT_RESERVED_SIZE): New
	define.
	(aarch64_linux_sigframe_init): Extra boundary checks.
