x86/fpu: Use fault_in_pages_writeable() for pre-faulting
Since commit d9c9ce34ed5c8 ("x86/fpu: Fault-in user stack if copy_fpstate_to_sigframe() fails") get_user_pages_unlocked() pre-faults user's memory if a write generates a page fault while the handler is disabled. This works in general and uncovered a bug as reported by Mike Rapoport¹. It has been pointed out that this function may be fragile and a simple pre-fault as in fault_in_pages_writeable() would be a better solution. Better as in taste and simplicity: that write (as performed by the alternative function) performs exactly the same faulting of memory as before. This was suggested by Hugh Dickins and Andrew Morton. Use fault_in_pages_writeable() for pre-faulting user's stack.
