[PATCH for 4.18 2/6] rseq: use get_user/put_user rather than __get_user/__put_user

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Mon Jul 09 2018 - 15:53:54 EST


__get_user()/__put_user() is used to read values for address ranges that
were already checked with access_ok() on rseq registration.

It has been recognized that __get_user/__put_user are optimizing the
wrong thing. Replace them by get_user/put_user across rseq instead.

If those end up showing up in benchmarks, the proper approach would be to
use user_access_begin() / unsafe_{get,put}_user() / user_access_end()
anyway.
