I've tried making access_ok mask the parameter it gets.  Works because
access_ok is a macro. Most users pass in a variable so that will block
attempts to use speculation to bypass the access_ok checks.

Not 100% as someone can copy the value before access_ok, but
then it's all mitigation anyway.

Places which call access_ok on a non-lvalue need to be fixed then but
there are not too many of these.

The advantage here is that a code like this:

access_ok
for(...)
	__get_user

isn't slowed down as the masking is outside the loop.

OTOH macros changing their arguments are kind of ugly.
What do others think?

Just to show what I mean:
