[SRU][Xenial][PATCH 5/5] x86/uaccess: Use __uaccess_begin_nospec() and uaccess_try_nospec

Quoting Linus:

    I do think that it would be a good idea to very expressly document
    the fact that it's not that the user access itself is unsafe. I do
    agree that things like "get_user()" want to be protected, but not
    because of any direct bugs or problems with get_user() and friends,
    but simply because get_user() is an excellent source of a pointer
    that is obviously controlled from a potentially attacking user
    space. So it's a prime candidate for then finding _subsequent_
    accesses that can then be used to perturb the cache.

__uaccess_begin_nospec() covers __get_user() and copy_from_iter() where the
limit check is far away from the user pointer de-reference. In those cases
a barrier_nospec() prevents speculation with a potential pointer to
privileged memory. uaccess_try_nospec covers get_user_try.

[juergh:
 - Converted additional copy_from_user functions to use
   __uaccess_begin_nospec().
 - Don't use __uaccess_begin_nospec() in __copy_to_user_ll() in
   arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c.
 - Adjusted context.]
