x86: merge getuser.
Merge versions of getuser from uaccess_32.h and uaccess_64.h into uaccess.h. There is a part which is 64-bit only (for now), and for that, we use a __get_user_8 macro.

+ * This macro copies a single simple variable from user space to kernel

+ *
+ * @ptr must have pointer-to-simple-variable type, and the result of

+ *
+ * Returns zero on success, or -EFAULT on error.
+ * On error, the variable @x is set to zero.
