Please rename this at the same time (to "unsafe_ia32_setup_sigcontext()").

I absolutely _hate_ how we have historically split the "__get_user()"
calls from the "access_ok()" calls, and then have had bugs when we had
ways to reach the user access without checking it.

Yes, we have static checking for the unsafe stuff in objtool now, but
I still want this to be explicit on the source level too: if you do
unsafe user accesses, you make it very very explicit in the naming, so
that you can't possibly even by mistake have a "let's call this
function withou having done the user_access_begin()" calls.
