Subject: [PATCH v5 2/6] uaccess: Use user_access_ok() in user_access_begin()

Use user_access_ok() instead of access_ok() in user_access_begin()
to validate the access context is user. This also allow us to
use (generic) strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user() in atomic
state with setting USER_DS and disable pagefaults.
