Couldn't we avoid all of this nastiness by doing ...

(not shown: the tedious bits where the existing 'ret = 1' are converted
to 'ret = -ENOSPC' in copy_to_sk())
 
(where __copy_to_user_nofault() is a new function that does exactly what
copy_to_user_nofault() does, but returns the number of bytes copied)

That way, the existing fault_in_writable() will get the fault, and we
don't need to probe every 16 bytes.
