This patch implements the word-at-a-time interface for arm64 using the
same algorithm as ARM. We use the fls64 macro, which expands to a clz
instruction via a compiler builtin. Big-endian configurations make use
of the implementation from asm-generic.
With this implemented, we can replace our byte-at-a-time strnlen_user
and strncpy_from_user functions with the optimised generic versions.

get_user() is defined as a function macro in arm64, and trace_get_user()
calls it as followed:
get_user(ch, ptr++);
Since the second parameter occurs twice in the definition, 'ptr++' is
unexpectedly evaluated twice and trace_get_user() will generate a bogus
string from user-provided one. As a result, some ftrace sysfs operations,
like "echo FUNCNAME > set_ftrace_filter," hit this case and eventually fail.
This patch fixes the issue both in get_user() and put_user().

The only reason uaccess routines might sleep
is if they fault. Make this explicit.

This patch add support for various user access functions. These
functions use the standard LDR/STR instructions and not the LDRT/STRT
variants in order to allow kernel addresses (after set_fs(KERNEL_DS)).
