Subject: [GIT PULL] usercopy fix for v5.4-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull this usercopy fix for v5.4-rc1. Randy found a corner case
(HIGHMEM, DEBUG_VIRTUAL, >512MB RAM) with hardened usercopy that went
unnoticed since v4.8. This adds HIGHMEM awareness to hardened usercopy,
and has been living in -next for a bit more than a week now.

Thanks!

-Kees
