This patch is a part of a series that extends kernel ABI to allow to pass
tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other than
0x00) as syscall arguments.
copy_from_user (and a few other similar functions) are used to copy data
from user memory into the kernel memory or vice versa. Since a user can
provided a tagged pointer to one of the syscalls that use copy_from_user,
we need to correctly handle such pointers.
Do this by untagging user pointers in access_ok and in __uaccess_mask_ptr,
before performing access validity checks.
Note, that this patch only temporarily untags the pointers to perform the
checks, but then passes them as is into the kernel internals.
