arm64 has an inline asm implementation of access_ok() that is derived from
the 32-bit arm version and optimized for the case that both the limit and
the size are variable. With set_fs() gone, the limit is always constant,
and the size usually is as well, so just using the default implementation
reduces the check into a comparison against a constant that can be
scheduled by the compiler.

On a defconfig build, this saves over 28KB of .text.

With set_fs() out of the picture, wouldn't it be sufficient to check
that bit #55 is clear? (the bit that selects between TTBR0 and TTBR1)
That would also remove the need to strip the tag from the address.

Something like

    asm goto("tbnz  %0, #55, %2     \n"
             "tbnz  %1, #55, %2     \n"
             :: "r"(addr), "r"(addr + size - 1) :: notok);
    return 1;
notok:
    return 0;

with an additional sanity check on the size which the compiler could
eliminate for compile-time constant values.
