Memory in the bundle is valuable, do not waste it holding an 8 byte pointer for the rare case of writing to a PTR_OUT. We can compute the pointer by storing a small 1 byte array offset and the base address of the uattr memory in the bundle private memory. This also means we can access the kernel's copy of the ib_uverbs_attr, so drop the copy of flags as well. Since the uattr base should be private bundle information this also de-inlines the already too big uverbs_copy_to inline and moves create_udata into uverbs_ioctl.c so they can see the private struct definition.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
