[PATCH] arm64: Fix 32-bit compatible userspace write size overflow error

For 32-bit compatible userspace program, write with size = -1 return not
-1 but unexpected other values, which is due to the __access_ok() check is
not right. The specified "addr + size" is greater than 32-bit limit and
should return -EFAULT, but TASK_SIZE_MAX still defined as UL(1) << VA_BITS
in U32 mode, which is much greater than "addr + size" and cannot catch the
overflow error.

Fix above error by checking 32-bit limit if it is 32-bit compatible
userspace program.

How to reproduce:

The test program is as below:

cat test.c
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <fcntl.h>
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdint.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <assert.h>

	#define pinfo(fmt, args...) \
	    fprintf(stderr, "[INFO][%s][%d][%s]:"fmt, \
	    __FILE__,__LINE__,__func__,##args)

	#undef SIZE_MAX
	#define SIZE_MAX -1

	int main()
	{
	    char wbuf[3] = { 'x', 'y', 'z' };
	    char *path = "write.tmp";
	    int ret;

	    int fd = open(path, O_RDWR | O_CREAT);
	    if (fd<0)
	    {
	        pinfo("fd=%d\n", fd);
	        exit(-1);
	    }

	    assert(write(fd, wbuf, 3) == 3);

	    ret = write (fd, wbuf, SIZE_MAX);
	    pinfo("ret=%d\n", ret);
	    pinfo("size_max=%d\n",SIZE_MAX);
	    assert(ret==-1);
	    close(fd);
	    pinfo("INFO: end\n");

	    return 0;
	}

aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --static test.c -o test
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc --static test.c -o test32

Before applying this patch, userspace 32-bit program return 1112 if the
write size = -1 as below:
	/root # ./test
	[INFO][test.c][32][main]:ret=-1
	[INFO][test.c][33][main]:size_max=-1
	[INFO][test.c][36][main]:INFO: end
	/root # ./test32
	[INFO][test.c][32][main]:ret=1112
	[INFO][test.c][33][main]:size_max=-1
	test32: test.c:34: main: Assertion `ret==-1' failed.
	Aborted

After applying this patch, userspace 32-bit program return -1 if the write
size = -1 as expected as below:
	/root # ./test
	[INFO][test.c][32][main]:ret=-1
	[INFO][test.c][33][main]:size_max=-1
	[INFO][test.c][36][main]:INFO: end
	/root # ./test32
	[INFO][test.c][32][main]:ret=-1
	[INFO][test.c][33][main]:size_max=-1
	[INFO][test.c][36][main]:INFO: end
