Merge branch 'hch' (maccess patches from Christoph Hellwig)
Merge non-faulting memory access cleanups from Christoph Hellwig:
"Andrew and I decided to drop the patches implementing your suggested
rename of the probe_kernel_* and probe_user_* helpers from -mm as
there were way to many conflicts.
After -rc1 might be a good time for this as all the conflicts are
resolved now"
This also adds a type safety checking patch on top of the renaming
series to make the subtle behavioral difference between 'get_user()' and
'get_kernel_nofault()' less potentially dangerous and surprising.
* emailed patches from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>:
maccess: make get_kernel_nofault() check for minimal type compatibility
maccess: rename probe_kernel_address to get_kernel_nofault
maccess: rename probe_user_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_user_nofault
maccess: rename probe_kernel_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault
