Sorry, I hadn't seen this.  I'm not seeing a boot failure on 5.9-rc8 with just
CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCPOY=y in addition to defconfig (on QEMU, though I doubt
that's relevant here).  It looks like the fix is to essentially revert this,
which I'm fine with, but I'd prefer to have a failing test to make sure this
doesn't break again.

Guo: I don't see an actual patch (signed off and such) posted for this, do you
mind posting one?  Otherwise I'll take a crack at constructing the revert
myself.
