uhid is a privileged interface so we would go from root to less
privileged (if at all). If non-privileged process can open uhid it can
construct virtual keyboard and inject whatever keystrokes it wants.
Also, instead of disallowing access, can we ensure that we switch back
to USER_DS before trying to load data from the user pointer?
