[PATCH 4.4 84/93] sparc32: fix a user-triggerable oops in clear_user()

commit 7780918b36489f0b2f9a3749d7be00c2ceaec513 upstream.

Back in 2.1.29 the clear_user() guts (__bzero()) had been merged
with memset(). Unfortunately, while all exception handlers had been
copied, one of the exception table entries got lost. As the result,
clear_user() starting at 128*n bytes before the end of page and
spanning between 8 and 127 bytes into the next page would oops when
the second page is unmapped. It's trivial to reproduce - all
it takes is

main()
{
int fd = open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY);
char *p = mmap(NULL, 16384, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, -1, 0);
munmap(p + 8192, 8192);
read(fd, p + 8192 - 128, 192);
}

which had been oopsing since March 1997. Says something about
the quality of test coverage... ;-/ And while today sparc32 port
is nearly dead, back in '97 it had been very much alive; in fact,
sparc64 had only been in mainline for 3 months by that point...
