Subject: [PATCH 4.13 002/109] <linux/uaccess.h>: Fix copy_in_user() declaration

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

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

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@....com>

commit f58e76c1c551c7577b25a6fe493d82f5214331b7 upstream.

copy_in_user() copies data from user-space address @from to user-
space address @to. Hence declare both @from and @to as user-space
pointers.

Fixes: commit d597580d3737 ("generic ...copy_..._user primitives")
