Subject: [PATCH 4.14 11/62] ARM: 8795/1: spectre-v1.1: use put_user() for __put_user()

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

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

Commit e3aa6243434fd9a82e84bb79ab1abd14f2d9a5a7 upstream.

When Spectre mitigation is required, __put_user() needs to include
check_uaccess. This is already the case for put_user(), so just make
__put_user() an alias of put_user().
