[PATCH v2 06/18] x86: use more conventional access_ok() definition

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

The way that access_ok() is defined on x86 is slightly different from
most other architectures, and a bit more complex.

The generic version tends to result in the best output on all
architectures, as it results in single comparison against a constant
limit for calls with a known size.

There are a few callers of __range_not_ok(), all of which use TASK_SIZE
as the limit rather than TASK_SIZE_MAX, but I could not see any reason
for picking this. Changing these to call __access_ok() instead uses the
default limit, but keeps the behavior otherwise.

x86 is the only architecture with a WARN_ON_IN_IRQ() checking
access_ok(), but it's probably best to leave that in place.
