[v2,0/2] uaccess: Add unsafe accessors for arm64

Message

Hi,

First version of this series[1] was briefly in linux-next but had to be
reverted due to a bug where schedule would end up being called while
user_access was active[2].

After clarifications[3], rescheduling while in a user_access region is not
allowed.

* Patch 1 clarifies this restriction in the API and attempts to check
  against violations of the restriction.
* Patch 2 implements the unsafe accessors for arm64

Changes since v1:
- Add a way to detect code calling schedule within a user_access region
- Make sure put_user/get_user arguments are evaluated before disabling PAN

Cheers,
