[PATCH v4 4/7] powerpc/32s: Drop NULL addr verification

NULL addr is a user address. Don't waste time checking it. If
someone tries to access it, it will SIGFAULT the same way as for
address 1, so no need to make it special.

The special case is when not doing a write, in that case we want
to drop the entire function. This is now handled by 'dir' param
and not by the nulity of 'to' anymore.

Also make beginning of prevent_user_access() similar
to beginning of allow_user_access(), and tell the compiler
that writing in kernel space or with a 0 length is unlikely
