Subject: MIPS: uaccess: Take EVA into account in [__]clear_user

commit d6a428fb583738ad685c91a684748cdee7b2a05f upstream.

__clear_user() (and clear_user() which uses it), always access the user
mode address space, which results in EVA store instructions when EVA is
enabled even if the current user address limit is KERNEL_DS.

Fix this by adding a new symbol __bzero_kernel for the normal kernel
address space bzero in EVA mode, and call that from __clear_user() if
eva_kernel_access().
