done.

Ok, fixed my bug in nios2 __put_user() as well now. This one is not nearly
as bad as nds32, at least without my patches it should work as expected.

Unfortunately I also noticed that __get_user() on microblaze and nios2
is completely broken for 64-bit arguments, where these copy eight bytes
into a four byte buffer. I'll try to come up with a fix for this as well then.
