[PATCH] gup: Avoid multiple user access locking/unlocking in fault_in_{read/write}able

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Tue Nov 16 2021 - 12:44:30 EST


fault_in_readable() and fault_in_writeable() perform __get_user()
and __put_user() in a loop, implying multiple user access
locking/unlocking.

To avoid that, use user access blocks.
