Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] arm64: allow paranoid __{get,put}user

Now that the compiler can identify redundant access_ok() checks, we can
make __get-user() and __put_user() BUG()-out if there wasn't a preceding
access_ok() check. So long as that's in the same compilation unit, the
compiler should be able to get rid of the redundant second check and BUG
entry.

This will allow us to catch __{get,put}_user() calls which did not have
a preceding access_ok() check, but may adversely affect a small number
of callsites where GCC fails to spot that it can fold two access_ok()
checks together.

As these checks may impact performance and code size, they are only
enabled when CONFIG_ARM64_PARANOID_UACCESS is selected.

In testing with v4.14-rc5 with the Linaro 17.05 GCC 6.3.1 toolchain,
this makes the kernel Image ~4KiB bigger, and the vmlinux ~93k bigger. I
have no performance numbers so far.
