Subject: [PATCH] arm64: uaccess: consistently check object sizes

Currently in arm64's copy_{to,from}_user, we only check the
source/destination object size if access_ok() tells us the user access
is permissible.

However, in copy_from_user() we'll subsequently zero any remainder on
the destination object. If we failed the access_ok() check, that applies
to the whole object size, which we didn't check.

To ensure that we catch that case, this patch hoists check_object_size()
to the start of copy_from_user(), matching __copy_from_user() and
__copy_to_user(). To make all of our uaccess copy primitives consistent,
the same is done to copy_to_user().

Kees, Was there any rationale for not handling the !access_ok() case?

I note that other architectures follow the same pattern, and may need a similar
fixup.

Thanks,
Mark.
