Subject: [PATCH] ia64: validate user arguments in
 csum_partial_copy_from_user

ia64: validate user arguments in csum_partial_copy_from_user

csum_partial_copy_from_user needs to validate that the argument points to
userspace and not kernelspace (see for example commit
3ddc5b46a8e90f3c9251338b60191d0a804b0d92). Consequently, we need to use
copy_from_user instead of __copy_from_user.

We also need to change csum_partial_copy_nocheck - this function is called
with src pointing to kernel space, so we call set_fs(KERNEL_DS) to prevent
copy_from_user from failing.
