arm64: uaccess: Don't bother eliding access_ok checks in __{get, put}_user
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
commit 84624087dd7e3b482b7b11c170ebc1f329b3a218 upstream.
access_ok isn't an expensive operation once the addr_limit for the current
thread has been loaded into the cache. Given that the initial access_ok
check preceding a sequence of __{get,put}_user operations will take
the brunt of the miss, we can make the __* variants identical to the
full-fat versions, which brings with it the benefits of address masking.
The likely cost in these sequences will be from toggling PAN/UAO, which
we can address later by implementing the *_unsafe versions.
