Linus Torvalds 334a023ee5 Clean up x86 unsafe_get/put_user() type handling
Al noticed that unsafe_put_user() had type problems, and fixed them in
commit a7cc722fff ("fix unsafe_put_user()"), which made me look more
at those functions.

It turns out that unsafe_get_user() had a type issue too: it limited the
largest size of the type it could handle to "unsigned long".  Which is
fine with the current users, but doesn't match our existing normal
get_user() semantics, which can also handle "u64" even when that does
not fit in a long.

While at it, also clean up the type cast in unsafe_put_user().  We
actually want to just make it an assignment to the expected type of the
pointer, because we actually do want warnings from types that don't
convert silently.  And it makes the code more readable by not having
that one very long and complex line.

[ This patch might become stable material if we ever end up back-porting
  any new users of the unsafe uaccess code, but as things stand now this
  doesn't matter for any current existing uses. ]
