Our FPU emulator currently uses __get_user() & __put_user() to perform
emulated loads & stores. This is problematic because __get_user() &
__put_user() are only suitable for naturally aligned memory accesses,
and the address we're accessing is entirely under the control of
userland.
This allows userland to cause a kernel panic by simply performing an
unaligned floating point load or store - the kernel will handle the
address error exception by attempting to emulate the instruction, and in
the process it may generate another address error exception itself.
This time the exception is taken with EPC pointing at the kernels FPU
emulation code, and we hit a die_if_kernel() in
emulate_load_store_insn().
Fix this up by using __copy_from_user() instead of __get_user() and
__copy_to_user() instead of __put_user(). These replacements will handle
arbitrary alignment without problems.
