Subject: [PATCH] x86/fpu: Use fault_in_pages_writeable() for pre-faulting

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@...gle.com>

Since commit

   d9c9ce34ed5c8 ("x86/fpu: Fault-in user stack if copy_fpstate_to_sigframe() fails")

we use get_user_pages_unlocked() to pre-faulting user's memory if a
write generates a page fault while the handler is disabled.
This works in general and uncovered a bug as reported by Mike Rapoport.

It has been pointed out that this function may be fragile and a
simple pre-fault as in fault_in_pages_writeable() would be a better
solution. Better as in taste and simplicity: That write (as performed by
the alternative function) performs exactly the same faulting of memory
that we had before. This was suggested by Hugh Dickins and Andrew
Morton.

Use fault_in_pages_writeable() for pre-faulting of user's stack.
