Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] rseq: optimise rseq_get_rseq_cs() and clear_rseq_cs()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Commit ec9c82e03a74 ("rseq: uapi: Declare rseq_cs field as union,
update includes") added regressions for our servers.

Using copy_from_user() and clear_user() for 64bit values
is suboptimal.

We can use faster put_user() and get_user() on 64bit arches.
