[RESEND][PATCH] Cleanup of rw_copy_check_uvector and compat_rw_copy_check_uvector

[RESEND][PATCH] Cleanup of rw_copy_check_uvector and compat_rw_copy_check_uvector

[Christopher Yeoh]

Hi Andrew,

Resending this patch which I first sent a couple of months ago and
didn't notice it didn't go in at the time.

This is the cleanup of rw_copy_check_uvector and
compat_rw_copy_check_uvector after changes made to support CMA in an
earlier patch. Rather than having an additional check_access parameter
to these functions, the first paramater type is overloaded to allow the
caller to specify CHECK_IOVEC_ONLY which means check that the contents
of the iovec are valid, but do not check the memory that they point to.
This is used by process_vm_readv/writev where we need to validate that a
iovec passed to the syscall is valid but do not want to check the
memory that it points to at this point because it refers to an address
space in another process.

Regards,

Chris
