In powerpc code, there are several places implementing safe
access to user data. This is sometimes implemented using
probe_kernel_address() with additional access_ok() verification,
sometimes with get_user() enclosed in a pagefault_disable()/enable()
pair, etc. :
    show_user_instructions()
    bad_stack_expansion()
    p9_hmi_special_emu()
    fsl_pci_mcheck_exception()
    read_user_stack_64()
    read_user_stack_32() on PPC64
    read_user_stack_32() on PPC32
    power_pmu_bhrb_to()

In the same spirit as probe_kernel_read(), this patch adds
probe_user_read().

probe_user_read() does the same as probe_kernel_read() but
first checks that it is really a user address.

 v2: Added "Returns:" comment and removed probe_user_address()

 Changes since RFC: Made a static inline function instead of weak function as recommended by Kees.

Nit: please put the "Returns:" comment after the description, otherwise
kernel-doc considers it a part of the elaborate description.

Why was the __always_inline needed?

This function is pretty large.  Why is it inlined?

Yeah, I'd like to make sure we can plumb the size checks down into the
user copy primitives.
