Subject: [PATCH 4.4 57/58] sg_write()/bsg_write() is not fit to be called under KERNEL_DS

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

commit 128394eff343fc6d2f32172f03e24829539c5835 upstream.

Both damn things interpret userland pointers embedded into the payload;
worse, they are actually traversing those.  Leaving aside the bad
API design, this is very much _not_ safe to call with KERNEL_DS.
Bail out early if that happens.
