MIPS: Make TASK_SIZE reflect proper size for both 32 and 64 bit processes.

The TASK_SIZE macro should reflect the size of a user process virtual
address space.  Previously for 64-bit kernels, this was not the case.
The immediate cause of pain was in
hugetlbfs/inode.c:hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() where 32-bit processes
trying to mmap a huge page would be served a page with an address
outside of the 32-bit address range.  But there are other uses of
TASK_SIZE in the kernel as well that would like an accurate value.

The new definition is nice because it now makes TASK_SIZE and
TASK_SIZE_OF() yield the same value for any given process.

For 32-bit kernels there should be no change, although I did factor
out some code in asm/processor.h that became identical for the 32-bit and
64-bit cases.

__UA_LIMIT is now set to ~((1 << SEGBITS) - 1) for 64-bit kernels.
This should eliminate the possibility of getting a
AddressErrorException in the kernel for addresses that pass the
access_ok() test.

With the patch applied, I can still run o32, n32 and n64 processes,
and have an o32 shell fork/exec both n32 and n64 processes.
