Christophe Leroy 8524e2e764 powerpc/uaccess: Perform barrier_nospec() in KUAP allowance helpers
barrier_nospec() in uaccess helpers is there to protect against
speculative accesses around access_ok().

When using user_access_begin() sequences together with
unsafe_get_user() like macros, barrier_nospec() is called for
every single read although we know the access_ok() is done
onece.

Since all user accesses must be granted by a call to either
allow_read_from_user() or allow_read_write_user() which will
always happen after the access_ok() check, move the barrier_nospec()
there.
