[PATCH] i386: Use probe_kernel_address instead of __get_user in fault paths
Makes the intention of the code cleaner to read and avoids a potential deadlock on mmap_sem. Also change the types of the arguments to not include __user because they're really not user addresses. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
