arm64: kernel: Add support for User Access Override
'User Access Override' is a new ARMv8.2 feature which allows the
unprivileged load and store instructions to be overridden to behave in
the normal way.
This patch converts {get,put}_user() and friends to use ldtr*/sttr*
instructions - so that they can only access EL0 memory, then enables
UAO when fs==KERNEL_DS so that these functions can access kernel memory.
This allows user space's read/write permissions to be checked against the
page tables, instead of testing addr<USER_DS, then using the kernel's
read/write permissions.
