[PATCH 10/52] arm64: Use pointer masking to limit uaccess speculation

From: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy at arm.com>
commit 4d8efc2d5ee4 upstream.
Similarly to x86, mitigate speculation past an access_ok() check by
masking the pointer against the address limit before use.
Even if we don't expect speculative writes per se, it is plausible that
a CPU may still speculate at least as far as fetching a cache line for
writing, hence we also harden put_user() and clear_user() for peace of
mind.
