3.16.66-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 2a418cf3f5f1caf911af288e978d61c9844b0695 upstream.
When calling __put_user(foo(), ptr), the __put_user() macro would call foo() in between __uaccess_begin() and __uaccess_end(). If that code were buggy, then those bugs would be run without SMAP protection.
Fortunately, there seem to be few instances of the problem in the kernel. Nevertheless, __put_user() should be fixed to avoid doing this. Therefore, evaluate __put_user()'s argument before setting AC.
This issue was noticed when an objtool hack by Peter Zijlstra complained about genregs_get() and I compared the assembly output to the C source.
