The kernel test bot reported[1] that using set_mask_bits on a u8 causes
the following issue on parisc:

	hppa-linux-ld: drivers/phy/ti/phy-tusb1210.o: in function `tusb1210_probe':
	&gt;&gt; (.text+0x2f4): undefined reference to `__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer'
	&gt;&gt; hppa-linux-ld: (.text+0x324): undefined reference to `__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer'
	hppa-linux-ld: (.text+0x354): undefined reference to `__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer'

Add support for cmpxchg on u8 pointers.

Except for historical confusion in the kprobes/uprobes and bpf tracers,
which has been fixed now, there is no good reason to ever allow user
memory accesses from probe_kernel_read.  Switch probe_kernel_read to only
read from kernel memory.

Currently architectures have to override every routine that probes
kernel memory, which includes a pure read and strcpy, both in strict
and not strict variants.  Just provide a single arch hooks instead to
make sure all architectures cover all the cases.

now that can be done conveniently - all non-trivial cases have
_HAVE_ARCH_COPY_AND_CSUM_FROM_USER defined, so the fallback in
net/checksum.h is used only for dummy (copy_from_user, then
csum_partial) implementation.  Allowing us to get rid of all
dummy instances, both of csum_and_copy_from_user() and
csum_partial_copy_from_user().

Already has the right semantics.  Incidentally. failing copy_from_user()
zeroes the tail of destination - no need to repeat that manually
