powerpc/align: Convert emulate_spe() to user_access_begin
This patch converts emulate_spe() to using user_access_begin logic. Since commit 662bbcb2747c ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with pagefault_disable()"), might_fault() doesn't fire when called from sections where pagefaults are disabled, which must be the case when using _inatomic variants of __get_user and __put_user. So the might_fault() in user_access_begin() is not a problem. There was a verification of user_mode() together with the access_ok(), but there is a second verification of user_mode() just after, that leads to immediate return. The access_ok() is now part of the user_access_begin which is called after that other user_mode() verification, so no need to check user_mode() again.
