x86: some lock annotations for user copy paths
copy_to/from_user and all its variants (except the atomic ones) can take a page fault and perform non-trivial work like taking mmap_sem and entering the filesyste/pagecache. Unfortunately, this often escapes lockdep because a common pattern is to use it to read in some arguments just set up from userspace, or write data back to a hot buffer. In those cases, it will be unlikely for page reclaim to get a window in to cause copy_*_user to fault. With the new might_lock primitives, add some annotations to x86. I don't know if I caught all possible faulting points (it's a bit of a maze, and I didn't really look at 32-bit). But this is a starting point. Boots and runs OK so far.
