[SPARC64]: Simplify user fault fixup handling.
Instead of doing byte-at-a-time user accesses to figure out where the fault occurred, read the saved fault_address from the current thread structure. For the sake of defensive programming, if the fault_address does not fall into the user buffer range, simply assume the whole area faulted. This will cause the fixup for copy_from_user() to clear the entire kernel side buffer. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
