Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] bpf: use check_zeroed_user() in bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero()

In v5.4-rc2 we added a new helper (cf. [1]) check_zeroed_user() which
does what bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero() is doing generically. We're slowly
switching such codepaths over to use check_zeroed_user() instead of
using their own hand-rolled version.

- Alexei Starovoitov <ast@...nel.org>:
  - Add a comment in bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero() to clarify that
    copy_struct_from_user() should be used whenever possible instead.

/* v3 */
- Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@...ntu.com>:
  - use correct checks for check_zeroed_user()
