Subject: sh64: failing __get_user() should zero

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

commit c6852389228df9fb3067f94f3b651de2a7921b36 upstream.

It could be done in exception-handling bits in __get_user_b() et.al.,
but the surgery involved would take more knowledge of sh64 details
than I have or _want_ to have.
