4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx commit b5c4ae4f35325d520b230bab6eb3310613b72ac1 In preparation for converting some __uaccess_begin() instances to __uacess_begin_nospec(), make sure all 'from user' uaccess paths are using the _begin(), _end() helpers rather than open-coded stac() and clac(). No functional changes.
