Anton reported

 | LTP tests syscalls/process_vm_readv01 and process_vm_writev01 fail
 | similarly in one testcase test_iov_invalid -&gt; lvec-&gt;iov_base.
 | Testcase expects errno EFAULT and return code -1,
 | but it gets return code 1 and ERRNO is 0 what means success.

Essentially test case was passing a pointer of -1 which access_ok()
was not catching. It was doing [@addr + @sz &lt;= TASK_SIZE] which would
pass for @addr == -1

Fixed that by rewriting as [@addr &lt;= TASK_SIZE - @sz]

Override asm-generic implementations. We basically gain on 2 fronts

* checks for alignment no longer needed as we are only doing "unit"
  sized copies.

  (Careful observer could argue that While the kernel buffers are aligned,
   the user buffer in theory might not be - however in that case the
   user space is already broken when it tries to deref a hword/word
   straddling word boundary - so we are not making it any worse).

* __copy_{to,from}_user( ) returns bytes that couldn't be copied,
  whereas get_user() returns 0 for success or -EFAULT (not size). Thus
  the code to do leftover bytes calculation can be avoided as well.

The savings were significant: ~17k of code.

add/remove: 0/4 grow/shrink: 8/118 up/down: 1262/-18758 (-17496)
