Vincent Whitchurch 344eb5539a ARM: 8813/1: Make aligned 2-byte getuser()/putuser() atomic on ARMv6+
getuser() and putuser() (and there underscored variants) use two
strb[t]/ldrb[t] instructions when they are asked to get/put 16-bits.
This means that the read/write is not atomic even when performed to a
16-bit-aligned address.

This leads to problems with vhost: vhost uses __getuser() to read the
vring's 16-bit avail.index field, and if it happens to observe a partial
update of the index, wrong descriptors will be used which will lead to a
breakdown of the virtio communication.  A similar problem exists for
__putuser() which is used to write to the vring's used.index field.

The reason these functions use strb[t]/ldrb[t] is because strht/ldrht
instructions did not exist until ARMv6T2/ARMv7.  So we should be easily
able to fix this on ARMv7.  Also, since all ARMv6 processors also don't
actually use the unprivileged instructions anymore for uaccess (since
CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS is not used) we can easily fix them too.

* value in addition to the "real" return value.
*
* __put_user_X
*
* Inputs: r0 contains the address
* r1 contains the address limit, which must be preserved
* r2, r3 contains the value
* Outputs: r0 is the error code
* lr corrupted
*
* No other registers must be altered. (see <asm/uaccess.h>
* for specific ASM register usage).
*
* Note that ADDR_LIMIT is either 0 or 0xc0000000
* Note also that it is intended that __put_user_bad is not global.
