James Morse 3b82a6ea23 Revert "arm64: uaccess: implement unsafe accessors"
This reverts commit a1f33941f7.

The unsafe accessors allow the PAN enable/disable calls to be made
once for a group of accesses. Adding these means we can now have
sequences that look like this:

| user_access_begin();
| unsafe_put_user(static-value, x, err);
| unsafe_put_user(helper-that-sleeps(), x, err);
| user_access_end();

Calling schedule() without taking an exception doesn't switch the
PSTATE or TTBRs. We can switch out of a uaccess-enabled region, and
run other code with uaccess enabled for a different thread.

We can also switch from uaccess-disabled code back into this region,
meaning the unsafe_put_user()s will fault.

For software-PAN, threads that do this will get stuck as
handle_mm_fault() will determine the page has already been mapped in,
but we fault again as the page tables aren't loaded.

To solve this we need code in __switch_to() that save/restores the
PAN state.
