[PATCH v1] powerpc/uaccess: simplify the get_fs() set_fs() logic

On powerpc, we only have USER_DS and KERNEL_DS

Today, this is managed as an 'unsigned long' data space limit
which is used to compare the passed address with, plus a bit
in the thread_info flags that is set whenever modifying the limit
to enable the verification in addr_limit_user_check()

The limit is either the last address of user space when USER_DS is
set, and the last address of address space when KERNEL_DS is set.
In both cases, the limit is a compiletime constant.

get_fs() returns the limit, which is part of thread_info struct
set_fs() updates the limit then set the TI_FSCHECK flag.
addr_limit_user_check() check the flag, and if it is set it checks
the limit is the user limit, then unsets the TI_FSCHECK flag.

In addition, when the flag is set the syscall exit work is involved.

Remove this TI_FSCHECK flag, and replace it by a TIF_KERNEL_DS flag
which tells whether KERNEL_DS or USER_DS is set. When TIF_KERNEL_DS
is set, the limit is ~0UL. Otherwise it is TASK_SIZE_USER (resp
TASK_SIZE_USER64 on PPC64). When KERNEL_DS is set, there is no range
to check.

On exit, involve exit work when the bit is set, i.e. when KERNEL_DS
is set. As TI_FSCHECK is not set anymore, test will be done everytime
exit work is run, but doing the check is now as costly as checking
whether the check is to be done.

This version is first version. The intention was to not modify things
much, but the resulting assembly is bad, so lets take v2 instead.
