In aa1acff356bb ("x86/xen: Probe target addresses in
set_aliased_prot() before the hypercall"), I added an explicit probe
to work around a hypercall issue. The code can be simplified by
using probe_kernel_read.

Ingo, can you apply this one patch directly to x86/asm? The rest of
the series is stalled pending my fixing Borislav's review comments
and, more importantly, fixing the bugs that testing it has shaken
loose. This patch is a nice cleanup all by itself, though.

Ok, agreed, done.
Note that I simplified it some more:
- probe_kernel_read(&dummy, (unsigned char *)v, 1);
+ probe_kernel_read(&dummy, v, 1);
... because 'v' already has a 'void *' natural type.
Thanks,
Ingo

x86/xen: Simplify set_aliased_prot()
A year ago, via the following commit:
aa1acff356bb ("x86/xen: Probe target addresses in set_aliased_prot() before the hypercall")
I added an explicit probe to work around a hypercall issue. The code can
be simplified by using probe_kernel_read().
No change in functionality.
