Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] x86: Avoid multiple evaluations in __{get,put}_user_size

Currently __{get,put}_user_size() expand their ptr argument in several
places, and some callers pass in expressions with side effects.

For example, fs/binfmt_elf.c, passes sp++ as the ptr argument to a chain
of __put_user() calls.

So far this isn't a problem, as each of these uses is mutually
exclusive. However, in subsequent patches we will need to make use of
the ptr argument several times, and ensure that we evaluate the ptr
expression exactly once to avoid corrupting the pointer.

In preparation for such uses, this patch reorganises
__{get,put}_user_size to evaluate the ptr argument into a temporary
__{gu,pu}_ptr variable, ensuring that side-effects occur exaclty once.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Based on work done for arm64 by Mark Rutland.
