[PATCH v4] ARM: add get_user() support for 8 byte types

Recent contributions, including to DRM and binder, introduce 64-bit
values in their interfaces. Common motivation example of this is to allow
the same ABI for 32- and 64-bit userspaces (and therefore also a shared
ABI for 32/64 hybrid userspaces). Anyhow, the developers would like to
avoid gotchas like having to use copy_from_user().

This feature is already implemented on x86-32 and the majority of other
32-bit architectures. The current list of get_user_8 hold out
architectures are: arm, avr32, blackfin, m32r, metag, microblaze,
mn10300, sh.

Credit:

    My name sits rather uneasily at the top of this patch. The v1 and
    v2 versions of the patch were written by Rob Clark and to produce v4
    I mostly copied code from Russell King and H. Peter Anvin. However I
    have mangled the patch sufficiently that *blame* is rightfully mine
    even if credit should more widely shared.

Changelog:

v4: remove an inlined add on big endian systems (spotted by Russell King),
    used __ARMEB__ rather than BIG_ENDIAN (to match rest of file),
    cleared r3 on EFAULT during __get_user_8.
v3: fix a couple of checkpatch issues
v2: pass correct size to check_uaccess, and better handling of narrowing
    double word read with __get_user_xb() (Russell King's suggestion)
v1: original
