From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 17:02:44 -0800 Subject: x86/usercopy: Replace open coded stac/clac with __uaccess_{begin, end}

From: Dan Williams dan.j.williams@intel.com

(cherry picked from commit b5c4ae4f35325d520b230bab6eb3310613b72ac1)

In preparation for converting some __uaccess_begin() instances to __uacess_begin_nospec(), make sure all 'from user' uaccess paths are using the _begin(), _end() helpers rather than open-coded stac() and clac().

No functional changes.
