x86/uaccess: Remove __get_user() and __put_user()
Nothing that builds on x86 uses __get_user() or __put_user() any more. They were the "unchecked" user accessors: no range check, on the assumption that the caller had already done an access_ok(). That stopped buying anything once every user access had to be enabled and disabled on its own, and on x86 __get_user() had become slower than get_user(), since it does an lfence where get_user() checks the address with a couple of plain instructions. Several of the last users were also relying on them for things they were never meant to do: accessing kernel addresses, or staying quiet in atomic context. Remove the macros and the out-of-line __{get,put}_user_nocheck_N helpers behind them, so that new users cannot appear. Other architectures still provide their own versions. UML gets its accessors from asm-generic and is not affected. arm64's __get_user() and __put_user() have always been the same as get_user() and put_user(), so there is no hurry there.
