The autoclose field can be copied with put_user(), so there is no need to
use copy_to_user(). In both cases, hardened usercopy is being bypassed
since the size is constant, and not open to runtime manipulation.

This patch is verbatim from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my
understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are
mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.


Just tried a quick rebase and it looks like this conflicts with
c76f97c99ae6 ("sctp: make use of pre-calculated len")
I don't think we can use put_user if we're copying via the full
len?

Thanks,
Laura
