Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for
them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER).
This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs
in kernel mode to use this functionality.

The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test
because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly
differently than user space tasks that start with a function.

The functions that created tasks that start with a function
have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of
".stack" and ".stack_size".  These functions are fork_idle(),
create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread().

With io_uring we have started supporting tasks that are for most
purposes user space tasks that exclusively run code in kernel mode.

The kernel task that exec's init and tasks that exec user mode
helpers are also user mode tasks that just run kernel code
until they call kernel execve.

Pass kernel_clone_args into copy_thread so these oddball
tasks can be supported more cleanly and easily.

On some architectures, access_ok() does not do any argument type
checking, so replacing the definition with a generic one causes
a few warnings for harmless issues that were never caught before.

Fix the ones that I found either through my own test builds or
that were reported by the 0-day bot.

Now that force_fatal_sig exists it is unnecessary and a bit confusing
to use force_sigsegv in cases where the simpler force_fatal_sig is
wanted.  So change every instance we can to make the code clearer.

PF_IO_WORKER are kernel threads too, but they aren't PF_KTHREAD in the
sense that we don't assign ->set_child_tid with our own structure. Just
ensure that every arch sets up the PF_IO_WORKER threads like kthreads
in the arch implementation of copy_thread().

Pull regset conversion fix from Al Viro:
 "Fix a regression from an unnoticed bisect hazard in the regset series.

  A bunch of old (aout, originally) primitives used by coredumps became
  dead code after fdpic conversion to regsets. Removal of that dead code
  had been the first commit in the followups to regset series;
  unfortunately, it happened to hide the bisect hazard on sh (extern for
  fpregs_get() had not been updated in the main series when it should
  have been; followup simply made fpregs_get() static). And without that
  followup commit this bisect hazard became breakage in the mainline"

* 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  kill unused dump_fpu() instances

dump_fpu() is used only on the architectures that support elf
and have neither CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET nor ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS
defined.

Currently that's csky, m68k, microblaze, nds32 and unicore32.  The rest
of the instances are dead code.

NB: THIS MUST GO AFTER ELF_FDPIC CONVERSION
