James Hogan ca19dd15e7 metag/uaccess: Check access_ok in strncpy_from_user
commit 3a158a62da0673db918b53ac1440845a5b64fd90 upstream.

The metag implementation of strncpy_from_user() doesn't validate the src
pointer, which could allow reading of arbitrary kernel memory. Add a
short access_ok() check to prevent that.

Its still possible for it to read across the user/kernel boundary, but
it will invariably reach a NUL character after only 9 bytes, leaking
only a static kernel address being loaded into D0Re0 at the beginning of
__start, which is acceptable for the immediate fix.
