Impact: cleanup
In __put_user_size() macro errret is used for error value.
But if size is 8, errret isn't passed to__put_user_asm_u64().
This behavior is inconsistent.

In case of !CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK, __put_user_size_ex() is not defined.
Add macros for !CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK case.

Impact: introduce new uaccess exception handling framework
Introduce {get|put}_user_try and {get|put}_user_catch as new uaccess exception
handling framework.
{get|put}_user_try begins exception block and {get|put}_user_catch(err) ends
the block and gets err if an exception occured in {get|put}_user_ex() in the
block. The exception is stored thread_info->uaccess_err.
The example usage of this framework is below;
int func()
{
int err = 0;
get_user_try {
get_user_ex(...);
get_user_ex(...);
:
} get_user_catch(err);
return err;
}
Note: get_user_ex() is not clear the value when an exception occurs, it's
different from the behavior of __get_user(), but I think it doesn't matter.

Impact: cleanup
The type of return value of __{get|put}_user() can be int.
There is no user to refer the return value of __{get|put}_user() as long.
This reduces code size a bit on 64-bit.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
