Kernel: Don't allow modifying IOPL via sys$ptrace() or sys$sigreturn()

Browse source 
It was possible to overwrite the entire EFLAGS register since we didn't
do any masking in the ptrace and sigreturn syscalls.

This made it trivial to gain IO privileges by raising IOPL to 3 and
then you could talk to hardware to do all kinds of nasty things.

Thanks to @allesctf for finding these issues! :^)
