Never mind, it's intentional, and the macro always uses 'type' for the
access size. I guess I can see the reason for that, and despite the
name it's more akin to the unsafe_copy_loop() helper than
unsafe_get_user().
The lack parentheses was a real issue, though. And I still think it
_should_ have been more like unsafe_get_user(), since now it's
basically useless for anything but that copy loop.
