Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 1/2] bpf: Add bpf_copy_to_user BPF helper to be
 called in tracers (kprobes)

This allows user memory to be written to during the course of a kprobe.
It shouldn't be used to implement any kind of security mechanism
because of TOC-TOU attacks, but rather to debug, divert, and
manipulate execution of semi-cooperative processes.

Although it uses probe_kernel_write, we limit the address space
the probe can write into by checking the space with access_ok.
This call shouldn't sleep on any architectures based on review.

It was tested with the tracex7 program on x86-64.
