No, that will just result in half of them applying it, best make a single patch and send it to linux-arch@vger.kernel.org for review. It's probably best to move the config option to lib/Kconfig.debug so it only appears once, and make it depend on DEBUG_USER_COPY_CHECKS, which is then unconditionally defined by the architectures that want it.
