[PATCH] ARM: add get_user() support for 8 byte types

From: Rob Clark <rob at ti.com>

A new atomic modeset/pageflip ioctl being developed in DRM requires
get_user() to work for 64bit types (in addition to just put_user()).

v1: original
v2: pass correct size to check_uaccess, and better handling of narrowing
    double word read with __get_user_xb() (Russell King's suggestion)
v3: explain in comment about why this works for narrowing fetch to 1,
    2, or 4 byte type on ARM.
